If A11 had aborted
In Buzz's book "Magnificant Desolation", page 16, he writes that Tom
Paine said "If oyu have to abort, I'll see that you fly the next moon landing flight. Just don't get killed." Is that right? I had always thought that it would have gone next to the A12 crew. |

I had always thought that it would have gone next to the A12 crew. I believe that Deke had said something similar. The honest truth is, "we'll never know." It was probably a good idea to make such an offer since you don't want folks in that situation pushing the edge of the envelope too far just to be first. You'd much rather have an abort and the bad press with that, but a live crew, than no abort and a dead crew. -- Greg D.

From "First Man", page 388: Paine told him "If we didn't get a chance to land and came back, he would give us the chance to go again, on the very next flight. I believe he meant it at that point." The truth was, Paine told every subsequentt Apollo crew the very same thing. It was his way of encouraging the crews not to try anything stupid, thinking it would be their only chance. If aborted, ... Armstrong was ready to take him up on his offer. |

Apollo 13, of course, would have made a fine test case for it particularly given Lovell's decision to retire. Have you a citation for it being made after 12? -- http://nebusresearch.wordpress.com/ Joseph Nebus Current Entry: My Problem With 7 http://wp.me/p1RYhY-ju ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
