I liked how there were multiple photos from different angles of the same event.

Sure you don't mean "attitude"?

After reading the first few chapters of this book, I could not decide if it was a very good humor book or a very poor history book. After finishing it and noting well over 150 obvious errors, I think the latter. Some of the gems: Apollo 4 did NOT do a U-turn after launch and head for the ground (pg. 194) MR-2 and Ham did NOT hit 2,298 miles per SECOND (pg. 149) Saturn V did NOT use frozen O2 & H2 (pg. 6) LM ladder temp at touchdown was NOT 2,000 deg (pg. 280) Apollo 8 did NOT launch in 1948 (it was 1968) (pg. 199) LH2 is NOT an oxidizer (pg. 97) Armstrong did NOT log 4,000 hrs in the X-15 (on just 7 flights!) (pg. 53) escape velocity from Earth is NOT 18,000 mph (pg. 125) CSM and LM did NOT cost $100K each (pg. 7) LM descent stage had only had 1 engine, NOT “engines” (pg. 247) Thor is an ICBM on pg. 113, but downgrades to an IRBM by pg. 117 LM did NOT use hydrogen peroxide for the attitude thrusters (pg. 60, 234) GET is Ground Elapsed Time, NOT "General" (pg. 84) NASA's Wallops Island facility is in Virginia, NOT Maryland (pg. 129) Wed, 24 Apr 2019 20:54:18 +0000 http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1632/1#IDComment1072731563 http://www.thespacereview.com/article/3688/1#IDComment1072639470 Re: Picturing Apollo 11: Several glaring technical errors in the text, but the photos are great.

I read this when the book came out, but it is still exciting to re-live it after 50 years.

Surprisingly, we got a room in the Howard Johnson motel, 2nd floor and river side, no less. By 6 AM on 11/9, I had my Super 8 movie camera all set up to film the launch, some 12 miles away. Even at full zoom, Apollo 4 was just a small dot. Shortly after she lit off, the motel windows started to rattle. I could not wait to start work.

There is some monstrosity going up at or near the old Holiday Inn that doesn't seem to have ANY windows. Prison, indeed.

Maybe not, and they just enjoy picking up loose garbage.
