Thanks for this! It was very enlightening and entertaining especially hearing Harrison reminisces. I always wondered about the accuracy of the lunar instrumentation, so slimmed down for weight and simplicity and quick deploy, especially the heat flow cores.
"The knowledge that we have now is but a fraction of the knowledge we must get, whether for peaceful use or for national defense. We must depend on intensive research to acquire the further knowledge we need ... These are truths that every scientist knows. They are truths that the American people need to understand." (Harry S. Truman 1948).
"The greatest long-term threat to U.S. national security is not terrorists wielding a nuclear or biological weapon, but the erosion of America's place as a world leader in science and technology."
Gordon England: 1st Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security and former Secretary of the Navy
