Dr. Gil said that this rising input of managerial talent from the Sloan school, feeding into the public sector, reflects concern at the School with problem identification, problem...
After debriefing the astronauts and studying telemetry from Apollo 9, NASA will announce on March 24 whether it will maintain the current schedule (Apollo 10 in mid-May, the Apollo 11 moon-landing mission in mid-July) or move directly to a landing mission in June.
