After all the hazard numbers, from take-off to return, were multiplied together, the result represented the hazard of the whole mode. In the final reckoning, LOR looked best. Chief advantage is the smallness of the lunar landing vehicle, which will be easier and safer to set down on the moon. Shea is sure that rendezvous near the moon will be no more difficult than rendezvous near the earth...
