Rusty Schweickart of Apollo 9

At recent B612 event, Rusty took 10 minutes to teach a few of us how to fly the Command Module and the Lunar Module....all, while holding a glass of red wine!

 

We we lucky enough to be at DFJ headquarters, where Steve houses his space collection...including a Command Module and a Lunar Module Controller. Seeing them both inspired Rusty to reassume his role as Lunar Module pilot, and share how each controller worked. He completely lit up, as he manipulated the controllers and explained how each adjustment would affect the spacecraft. A truly once in a lifetime experience!
