Does the US does anything these days? No. This place became a nest of wussy after the mid-70s.

Does the US do anything with determination these days?

The HBO Miniseries made it sound like LOR (Lunar Orbit Rendezvous) was a tough sell.
I see it was selected by 1964.
Are the Van Allen Belts really that much of a hazard?
(Or only during high solar activity?)

Yeah, though 13 included, you’ve still got to admit they did a pretty amazing job of it. Actually Apollo 13 was pretty awesome just in the fact that they managed to bring them back alive even after a big explosion ripped a hole in the side of the ship halfway to the moon.

Nice to knew they had it all worked out. Number 13 notwithstanding!
