That's the first time I've heard someone call Nixon a liberal.

Most of the work was done during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.


Nixon was as liberal as Kennedy.

Actually, had Johnson been reelected, it would have even with Apollo
One.


If Johnson could have been reelected he would have run for reelection.

Had the Apollo One disaster not occurred the first Moon landing would have been during the Johnson administration.


Had the Apollo 1 disaster not occurred, some other disaster would have,
and depending on where & when, could have pushed back the program
even further. The original CSM was a shoddy piece of crap deathtrap, and
would have killed a crew eventually (and in fact, it almost did again, on 13).

Besides, delays in developing the LEM would never have permitted a landing
during the Johnson administration.

That is probably true, but Nixon had little to do with the success of
Apollo.

Most of the work was done during the Kennedy and Johnson
administrations. Dickie Doo was just along for the ride. Had the Apollo
One disaster not occurred the first Moon landing would have been during
the Johnson administration.

Not did any president, for that matter, but it wouldn't have had a
chance to be successful if Kennedy hadn't initiated the program.


Kennedy did not initiate the program.
