Well, here's something I've wondered: did the ascent module engine have enough power to boost the AM into lunar escape orbit, or did the CM/SM have to do any maneuvering to meet it and "pull it out" of the moon's gravity well?
All of the NASA diagrams show the former procedure, which would be (quite a bit!) safer. But is that the way it was done?
(This has nothing to do with the Hoax, only with a detail of the mission that I didn't know. You've already set me straight on a couple of other ideas I'd had -- since 1969! -- that were wrong, for which thank'ee!)
