-"Apollo at 50"

-driven by international politics, a national commitment by a President, and a +
-Congress willing to spend a whole lot of cash, enabled a lot of really smart people +
-with a lot of chutzpah and a lot of luck to accomplish the seemingly impossible - +
-the Apollo Program. Bill served as a flight controller at the Manned Spacecraft +
-Center in Houston, TX, during the Apollo Missions 7 and 13. He’ll explain why +
-Apollo 8 was his favorite mission.+
  
-You’ll learn how we traveled all the way to the moon, only to discover the earth; 
-how the Apollo 11 computer said, “Uh! Oh!, but GUIDO said, “GO!”; how the 
-command, “SCE to AUX”, saved Apollo 12; whether we could’ve reached the 
-moon with today’s smart phone; how, in order to reach the moon, we needed to 
-come up with, “ . . . the most powerful machine ever devised” - the Saturn V. 
  
-Ponder with Bill whether we’ll see such accomplishments again in our life times.+[[http://matyconn.matyc.org/files/Meetings/f19/MATYfall2019MeetingREG_Form.pdf|Registration Form]] (You can edit this form online before printing)
