If you and your friends need an "upper", the adults/older fogies are sponsoring an Apollo 11 retrospective at 2:00 PM this afternoon in the Gilruth. Here's how Jerry Woodfill describes his Apollo 11 program.

Hi Everyone:

 

I want to invite you to a unique presentation of American Space History.

Come to the Gilruth Ballroom at 2:00 PM, Wed., July 17, if you want a fuller and

richer understanding of what happened that week in July of 1969 leading to

Neil Armstrong's moonwalk. The program is more than a technical PowerPoint

treatise about Apollo 11 space technology. It is crafted to entertain as well as

educate. Included is a live brief recreation of JFK's Rice Stadium talk

by a Rice student present that September 12th of 1962 which led to his

48 year ongoing career at Johnson Space Center.

 

 

The show will engage younger employees to know what life, as an MSC

Apollo worker a half century past, was like compared to the present. Veterans

will likewise appreciate reminiscing about that era at the "brand-new" Manned

Spacecraft Center.

 

 

Then, little known facets about Apollo 11's history, before and during the

historic endeavor, will be shared, in a way sure to entertain and inform.

 

The program even includes live performances of several 1960s popular songs

adapted to explain the Cold War/Space Race environment which led to the first

lunar landing.

 

 

From both a technical and work related perspective, the show is certainly

justified as not requiring annual leave. You will return to your duties motivated

to innovate contributions to NASA JSC 2.0 based on spending an hour

immersed in NASA JSC 1.0, the formative years.

 

"Eleven Things That Saved Apollo 11"

(An adaptation of the presentation given at the NASA JSC 2013 AIAA Technical Symposium)

 

 

The Program is sponsored by:

Johnson Space Center's

NASA Alumni League

Former Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 Warning System Engineer
