Steve Bales's Journey to the Moon
Just 26 years old in 1969 Steve Bales was at the sharp end of one of the most critical decisions in the entire history of the moon landings. He left NASA's Johnson Space Center, the home of Mission Control 23 years ago. Just a year before I started work there myself. Now 76 he runs a small business which has nothing to do with space with his wife Sandra in the wooded countryside not far from Philadelphia.
