AstroMike: Which early landings specifically?

Apollo 11, 12 and I even think Apollo 13 is suspect.

AstroMike: You can't argue the early landings doesn't occur and that later ones did. It doesn't work that way. Once you take out one link, the others become disturbed.

I don't follow.

Squirm: In any case, I don't believe Neil Armstrong was the first man.

AstroMike: You think Neil went under four years of intensive training for nothing?

Not for nothing, no. This man was still going into space. WHOA! Space. Just think about it. This man was still very privileged, indeed more so in 1969.

More to the point, I believe the early crews actually carried out phases and exercises that would assist the later mission(s). They didn't just go up there and say "Run VT".
