Marty: With space it’s go baby, go
I was watching the terrific series “Moon Machines” on the Science Channel. It’s about the Apollo Program that put man on the Moon July 20, 1969. Much was human interest – vignettes showing who did it and how. They ranged from engineers at MIT designing inertial guidance systems, to the “LOL” system of computer programming. LOL stood for the “Little Old Ladies,” the operators, almost all mature women, who physically wove wires and doughnut-shaped magnets to program computer memory. The show eventually got to the Saturn V, the 6.2-million-pound, 363-foot high, 3 million part, behemoth multi-staged rocket system used to propel Apollo. As they ran the launch films, I found myself talking to the TV – feeling the same feelings and saying the same thing I said during launches more than 40 years ago. “Go baby, go!”
