When that fire happened, tragic, and you thought it was all over. And we remember the date, January 67, and for 20 months, we kind of sat on our fingers,. We were getting ready to start testing the Saturn five which could get you to the moon. The heat shield held up very well, because the heat of reentry is horrendous. It takes so long for the engine to get up to speed the F one engines on the first date.
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!
