    Anything less than perfection could mean the loss of the spacecraft and the death of the astronauts.

    The glass window did not have ablative. Why did it not melt, deform, or transmit heat from the exterior (1000's of degrees F) into the 75F interior?

    This technological achievement becomes more appreciated and inspiring with time, despite the science illiterate and science denying idiots who are becoming more prevalent in the country that achieved it.

      Where did they store the huge amount of parachute material?
      What is up with the strange impossible camera angles and great shots?
      Nothing wrong with asking questions, only problem is people who can not handle them.

      @@Pippy_Pappy The parachutes were packed tight in canisters that where ejected like a mortar. If you're referring to the reentry shots, they were taken by looking up and back through the command module windows.
      And you're right, asking questions is perfectly normal. It's the idiots who ignore the facts and think they know better, who are the problem.
