*** Landing on the moon
I was the Massachusetts representative to the Pepsico National Explorer Space Seminar during the Apollo years. We spent a week at the Kennedy Space Center and saw every aspect of NASA’s manned and unmanned space programs, including standing on top of the Saturn V rocket in the White Room where the astronauts would board the next Apollo mission. One of our visits was to the training center where NASA trained astronauts to pilot the Lunar Landing Module—or LEM—to land on the lunar surface.
This simulator facility had a topographical relief map of the lunar surface suspended from the ceiling. Cameras would move sideways or up and down based on the LEM pilot’s commands. As the LEM got closer to the surface, the camera would get closer to the relief map, so the pilot would see what the cameras saw. Just before landing, the camera would lose focus to simulate dust being kicked up by the LEM’s rocket motors.
This was very cool. But I walked around the back of this control room while the rest of my colleagues watched the cameras on the training mission.
There it was, in the back. The Lunar Landing Module. The door was open. I climbed the ladder, and inside there was a man flying the spaceship. I could look out of the windows in front of him and see the moon’s craters and other features getting closer as we “descended.”
I did what any young person would do. I asked him if he was an astronaut. He said that he was. So I asked him for his autograph. He said. “Sure. Just a minute. I’ve got to finish landing on the moon.”
Just then there was a shout. “Hey! Get down from there. You’re not supposed to be up there.”
They rushed me back with the rest of my crew.
To this day I do not know which astronaut it was. But he nearly landed me on the moon.
