Well, there are two of them up here.

RIP Chris Kraft?(person with a great real name)

? Was fat-fingered misfire of the gas jet

Christopher Columbus Kraft Jr.

RIP. That was a dude who got things done.

There’s a doc on Prime about the Apollo mission control guys and Kraft seemed like the epitome of an oldschool hardass boss. Even in old age he seemed like he still could put a verbal walloping on you if he wanted to.

not long now til splashdown.

currently 17k nautical miles from earth and about to hit 10,000 mph, ten thousand. i guess they have been travelling downhill for 3 days with no wind resistence.

same tbh

The astronauts donned the BIGs, jumped into the raft, and, as rehearsed, began spraying and scrubbing themselves down with disinfectant.

20k mph

Or
DSKY, Return to Earth now, please.

We are live here at the Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF) on the USS Hornet as President Nixon stands outside the window and jokes with the three astronauts.

imagine getting back from the moon and the first thing you have to do after splashdown is make small-talk with nixon

20 people in the quarantine with them when they got back to the facility. neil had his birthday in there

That picture is great.

Adam West and Neil Armstrong, separated at birth.

Ha, exactly

Stand by for ullage.

It looks to me, looking out of the hatch, that we are venting something out into space.

Are you a Pod or a MOCR?

This story of the too-close Service Module during reentry is, um, sobering. The new book it comes from is pretty well done, from what I have read so far.

The author conducted new interviews with a few dozen engineers as well as taking a deep dive into the archives. She does a great job of telling new stories from the engineering/ systems perspective as well as more familiar stories, such as the one about Neil Armstrong going back to the office after he bailed out of the LLTV.
