Even Mission Control will profit from the $15 million safety overhaul. If any of Apollo 14's critical systems go awry, as did the defective oxygen tank in Apollo 13, loud beeping alarms will...
...that his efforts only delayed the inevitable outcome. Even with the "extreme concentration of all our resources," he says, Germany could not have had an atomic bomb before 1947.
