The man actually suffered a stroke, and was left unable to talk.

That's no excuse for having given half an argument (if even that) for decades. Yes, in 1958 there were many problems with going to the moon. They were solved in the subsequent decade. Mr. Wood claims to be an expert in the industry that solved those problems. Other experts in the industry speak freely about having solved those problems. (Just try to shut them up.)

Mr. Wood is clearly splitting rails and I want to know why.
