...tension was obvious in the voices of both the crew and the controller. Just 160 ft. from the surface Aldrin reported: "Quantity light." The light signaled that only 114 seconds of fuel remained. Armstrong and Aldren had 40 seconds to decide if they could land within the next 20 seconds. If they could not, they would have to abort, jettisoning their descent stage and firing their ascent engine to return to Columbia...
...headed and how fast. But how could they be sure that it would work?, the NASA brass wanted to know. "I told them I'd go along and run it myself," recalls Draper. The on-board navigation systems have proved so accurate that, if they had to, the crew of Columbia could fly to the moon and back without help from ground controllers...

Reality being what it is, that line-up may defeat his efforts. But so far, despite occasional camera bobbles and other evidences of a somewhat amateurish crew, Tempo/Boston is far more interesting than most of Boston's local programs -and, for that matter, the network competition as well...
