Quantum Touch - Richard Gordon 4/22/16

[penny4nasa]

Apollo 12 astronaut Richard F. Gordon, Jr. turned 85 years old today. Gordon has received the highest award given by NASA, the NASA Distinguished Service Medal. He occupied the command module pilot seat on Apollo 12, November 14-24, 1969 and was supposed to be the commander of Apollo 18, but lost the chance to walk on the moon himself when the mission was eliminated during budget cuts. Gordon had completed two spacewalks during Gemini 11, during a time when spacewalk planning was in its infancy and left much to be desired. A particular moment of concern was when he was trying to attach a tether between Gemini and a target vehicle: "I kept floating away, so I ended up having to hold the docking bar with one hand and put the tether and the locking mechanism on there with the other." This wasn't Gordon's only moment of heroism. During the Apollo 12 launch there was a lightning strike that temporarily affected the command module's systems briefly. After this instance, NASA revised the rules for launching during storms.
