CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY PROMOTED & APPARENTLY, BLINDLY ACCEPTED, SINCE 1967(?),

 

THIS CAPSULE (CM-011)...

 

IS NOT...

 

I SAY AGAIN...

 

NOT...

 

THE COMMAND MODULE THAT WAS ON DISPLAY AT EXPO '67.

 

THE DISPLAYED CAPSULE WAS CM-009, AND IT’S PRETTY DAMNED OBVIOUS.

 

HOW IN THE WORLD DID THIS PERSIST - AND HAS EVEN BEEN REINFORCED - BY WHAT I THOUGHT WERE KNOWLEDGEABLE, OBSERVANT AT LEAST - FOLKS???

 

WOW.

 

JUST WOW.
