i mean it's that straightford. he didn't know whether the data he was getting was bad, bad navigation, or we had some kind of problem with targeting in the spacecraft, but the problem was that he really got my attention, he says flight, we're out on the radio velocity. vertical velocity, and halfway to our abort limit. boy, when you haven't even started down to the moon and some guy says we're halfway to the abort limit it gets your attention. he continued and said i'll keep watching it. so, all of a sudden now you got communications problems, minor electrical, navigation problem and struggle to meet the windows for making your decisions as you're now saying we're ready to ignite the engine. we got down to the go no-go for start of power descent, four minutes before the landing point, again there is no reason i had to wave off. the team was working well we made got to continue. then we lost communication, we couldn't tell the crew. so again, we relay charlie duke relays through mike collins to the lunar module they

my response was very straightford, i put a switch on the phone so it wouldn't ring anymore, he could call all day and get a busy signal. but we proceeded to dig ourselves out of the pit that we had somehow dug for ourselves, we sat a different set of parameters in defining this dead man's box, we became more conscious of the clock. piece by piece, we put it back together again. until we felt not only were we going to get the job, hell yes, we would get the crew down to the surface of the moon. and the training process then, i mean we just seemed to be on top of everything until the last day of training. and this was again, i think a very fateful exercise that to this day i think kous for giving it to us. we have a game plan we call the mission rolls. they are basically pre-planned decisions where the controllers and the light of day will look at all the things that could happen, in the spacecraft, or on the trajectory, on a phase-by-phase mission. there is a lot of phases to the lunar mission, you end up with a book of rules literally four inches thick, thousands of rules. but the co

>> very straightford. we have a primary coming up in a or so, important to speak out.hink he would make a great president. several things, first the experience. i'm from the private sector, so is he, it makes a difference in terms of understanding what it takes to create a job. and then being a former governor, that chief executive experience in the public sector counts, and then beyond that, very importantly are his policies, job creation and economic growth. that is a big issue in this election, more and better jobs. we have been a success story in michigan. some of those same things need to apply at the national level. we're struggling there and they're holding back the rest of the country. get a president that can move us forward. >> let me ask you some issues, one topic politically and economically was the government's bail out of general motors and chrysler. now, you favored the bail out, if my reading and research is correct. governor romney is opposed to the bail out. is romney wrong and did your difference of opinion on this cause you to delay an endorsement?
