Reblogged this on When We Were Apollo and commented:
A wonderful opportunity to discuss and promote an area of history that hasn’t been given nearly as much attention as it deserves. Looking forward to reading these papers!

My pleasure, Roger. I’m a big fan of you and your work over the years! When you have a moment, would love for you to take a look at our developing project: “When We Were Apollo,” a feature-length documentary about some of the everyday men and women of the Apollo space program. http://whenwewereapollo.com. Was recently talking with Stephen Moss and Richard Paul of “We Could Not Fail,” and your name came up several times.
