APOLLO 11 TENSE LANDING-FUEL & 1202 ALARMS

Picture
The final version of my Apollo 11 piece. View from Neil Armstrong's seat, his face/helmet reflected in the window of the Lunar Module as he looks out at the lunar landscaping zipping past. As he looks for a safe place to land, a fuel alarm is going off (he lands with only 16 seconds of fuel left) and a 1202 program alarm is going off indicating his navigation program is overloaded. It took a cool head at mission control to make the call that it was OK to proceed despite the 1202 alarm in this case.
