I just don’t get the quote : « I’d go back to the moon in a nanosecond… but we just don’t have the technology today. We lost it » (not quite verbatim… but you get the gist). It always seems to me that technology evolves and becomes simpler. Not the other way around.
President Nixon did not simply pick up the phone, dial Mission Control, and then ask the receptionist to put him through to the Sea of Tranquility. The call went from the White House telephone exchange via the AT&T network to the Goddard Spaceflight Center near Washington, DC. Goddard routed the signal to the Manned Spaceflight Center (now the Johnson Space Center) in Houston. From there, it went via communications satellite to NASA’s installation at Honeysuckle Creek, Australia, which was the primary link between earth and the moon during the moon walk. It wasn’t routine, but the technology of patching telephone calls into radio networks was common in 1969. Do better and learn....
What an adventure!👍🚀.. RIP Gene Cernan 🙏
Very proud of you, Gene!!!
