Apollo 8 and a LM
History says that Apollo 8 was launched to the Moon despite the risk, w/o an
LM since the LM wasn't ready. What exactly wasn't ready? I suspect it was more than simply being overweight (since it was overweight as late as Apollo 10). Thinking about it, was ANY thought given to launching it, even if it was only dead weight to be used as a lifeboat (ala Apollo 13). I.e. could they have accomplished Apollo 8 even more safely than they did? -- Greg Moore Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC.
