Armstrong was by far the better photographer.

Not to mention that they only had one camera, which was in Armstrong's possession most of the time.

No, the highest jump was about six feet.

Not arguing with you, but when was this? (I don't remember seeing it.)

Ed Fendell pulled back on the lever before the countdown reached zero. Duh.

On Apollo 15 (the first TV of a LM takeoff), he didn't try to anticipate, and the LM soars out of sight almost immediately.

23) Why did NASA's administrator resigned just days before the first Apollo mission?

Webb's days were numbered from day one. He ****ed off too many people in acquiring funding.


I think it was more that the administration (Kennedy/Johnson) that had appointed Webb was leaving office, and Webb was planning to leave with them. It's worth noting that most of the work on Apollo had been done already - the administrator's primary job at that point would be planning what to do after Apollo, and Webb may have been just as happy to let someone else deal with that.
