I was a console operator, the instrumentation console. I wanted to say something to him and I said, we're trying to think, what are you going to? He says, no, no, I take my turn. That's all I could think of. And sure, I turned around and I was sweating and I was kind of blushing. But that was my interface that one and only ever,. You know, I get close to him and actually talking to him and having a response from him. It's like Peter on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus and Moses and Elijah.
On the eve of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon launch/landing, I invite you to come hear my rocket scientist father (G.A. "Jim" Ogle) re-tell his experience on User Defenders: Community (https://community.userdefenders.com) of the events that took place the day of the launch on July 16, 1969, leading into the unforgettable and awe-inspiring day of July 20, 1969 when the U.S. achieved the unimaginable feat of landing the first humans on the moon. He will also answer your questions live!
