Sorry for the cross post...
I turned it off as I thought it was hyped up rubbish.
I had the pleasure of meeting Aldrin and Alan Shepard (Apollo 14) and
Dave Scott and Jim Irwin (Apollo 15). even got a few autographs

I spoke one on one with Alan Shepard for about 4 hours straight...wait for it..
back in 1988....
as he was being flown out for the Bi-Centennial Airshow (in the days when we could still allow flight deck visits.) and got a good insight from Alan on what the mission(s) involved, along with the earlier Mercury/Gemini programs (well, from a "piloting" point of view at least)
But I digress...
Sure there were risks, but they were blown out of all proportion in
what I though was a very shabby doco.
Cheers
Peter
