hey - well done for running down the leads ,
BUT
my hackles are raised by this :
Are you friend of retiredafb? ...........-Reply- ...no i'm sorry but i've never met Rutldege
]
then :
so since my freind Rutledge revealed the
maybee i am just too cynical - but i see a breakdown in internal consistancy within 80 words
now i realise that meeting is not a pre requisite of freindship - but if i wrote that i would have said :
Are you friend of retiredafb? ...........-Reply- ... yes , although i'm sorry but i've never met Rutldege

then :
so since my friend Rutledge revealed the
the changes are bolded - and yes its pedantic - but i expect an astronaut to spel friend correctly - yes i know i have made the same mis spelling in
my opening paragraph - but i hold astronauts who were selected from hundreds of throusands of applicants ffor thier education and intelligence among
other qualities to a higher standard
just look @ the qualifications and education levels of aldrin , armstrong etc from thier bio`s
and on another note :
sine here at NASA we were kept devided one each other.I was an USAF pilot too and i was the commander of Apollo 19
I'm very sorry but i try to put online what i can and answer to your question s much as i can.i have been the CMDR of Apollo 19
firstly - why were they seperated ? it makes almost zero sense - all previous astronauts had constant contact -
its far harder to train 2 teams seperatly than a joint program - they learn from each others mistakes if together - and assost each other
as i said all previous space programs - mercury , gemini , appollo - had common personel - and benefited from the prior experience oth the previous
personell
compartmentalisation leads to re-invention of the wheel - repeatedly
PS - the ` compartmentalism for secrecy ` argument does not hold water either - they were all professionals with the highest security clearences - now
slack jawed yokels .
if any one wants to persue this - do it at your peril - because compartmentalisation has to be
total you cannot use the same suit fitters ,
trainers , technicians etc etc - compartmentalisation has to be complete
also - most of the astronauts knew each other from previous USAF , USN and USMC duties - they were already the cream of the crop before they entered
the space program .
and finally - look how many times he tells us that he was the apollo 19 commander - needless repetition of such basic details is a pretty standard
warning sign to suspect a person is lying
