Looking for Apollo era personnel to interview!

If you know anyone who worked on Apollo era space programs (Mercury-ASTP), please put us in touch with them. We want to tell their story!   Our mandate is to talk to anyone affiliated with the programs, not just astronauts.  That means technicians, electricians, engineers, nurses ... we mean ANYONE.  If you've heard someone tell their great space race story, we want to talk to them!
 We'd even love to talk to Soviet era personnel!  You can contact us at apollotalks@gmail.com, or drop us a note on Twitter (@apollotalks) or on Facebook.

Episode 14: On the Fly with Don Eyles


It's been a long break for CWA and we apologize.  After a hard drive issue took away our recordings, it took a better part of a year running SpinRite on the bad drive to recover the lost data.  But now we're happy to offer you Episode 14: On the Fly with Don Eyles!

As a young software engineer at M.I.T., Don Eyles wrote the guidance software the Apollo Lunar Module Guidance Computer used to land on the moon.  But when a lose solder connection threatened to abort the landing, Eyles wrote a quick patch from a quarter million miles away so that Alan Shepard could play golf in the Frau Mauro Highlands.

This one's worth the wait.
