“The take-off from the moon is shown here. The preparations for such a take-off will require major advancements over today’s operational procedures. All the equipment for the take-off must be prepared, erected and checked out by the three men in the spacecraft.
The propulsion system used for this lunar take-off must be the most reliable component of the entire Apollo system. The time of take-off must be precisely planned and the guidance equipment must work perfectly to place the spacecraft on the proper trajectory for its return flight to earth.”
Other than the preponderance of ‘take-off’, a wonderful, nebulous (since the details probably still needed to be worked out), yet still informative read…really gratifying. Despite what looks to be a production/print-induced crease, an excellent rarity - in multiple ways.
