#SpaceSaturday: The #Apollo 14 Command Module, named Kitty Hawk for the first place a heavier-than-air aircraft took off, just decades before #spacecraft took people to the #Moon.
#KittyHawk is on display at the #museum at the Kennedy #Space Center Visitors Complex’s Apollo/Saturn V Center, alongside a full-sized #SaturnV #rocket. It was recovered from the Pacific Ocean after landing by the USS New Orleans.
It sent Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell to the Moon, and Stuart Roosa into lunar orbit along on #KittyHawk.

When US President Kennedy dared the United States, “before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth,” #NASA was given expanded facilities occupying almost all of #MerrittIsland, which was a #swamp at the time. It took years of effort, and even more years of person-hour labor, to eradicate the #mosquitoes (and the #YellowFever) to complete the #ApolloProgram and send two men to the Moon and returned both and their rideshare safely to the #Earth.
When the #SpaceShuttle followed on, it continued to launch from the world’s most advanced #spaceport. And it landed there, as #Endeavour did after STS-134.
#SLS and #Orion will again send humans to the Moon from that spaceport.
Which is in a #marsh. Also, it’s infested with #alligators.

Your literary exercise today is John Houbolt’s letter to Robert Seamans, “Manned Lunar Landing Through Use of Lunar Orbit Rendezvous”.
The good shit starts at page 55 in this NASA archive document. So good.

Also, Houbolt went to Joliet. Mfers you need to hire more Southsiders.

Think how the #ApolloProgram #astronauts must feel watching earth going back to the moon.
