...original plans called for Apollo 11 astronauts to remain sealed inside their spacecraft until it was lifted to the deck of the recovery carrier. There, they would walk through a plastic tunnel running from the hatch of the spacecraft into a hermetically sealed van on the carrier deck. Following a similar transfer from the van to Houston's sealed Lunar Receiving Laboratory (TIME, Dec. 29, 1967), the astronauts were to continue under strict quarantine for a total of 21 days.

Since they have been proved wrong so often in the past, U.S. experts are careful not to parade their latest positive assessments; indeed...
