THE CONTRACTORS

I started this blog to do several things: educate people about the real Apollo and honor the contractors. For 40 years or more all the public hears about is the astronauts and their missions. We 400,000 people who actually did the work were in facilities from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. We are grandparents, parents, sons and daughters. With great hearts and lots of skill we created a miracle. We were the ones that built the mighty Saturn V not the reporters in Mission Control. NASA did not build anything. The contractors did. Who built the launch tower and the launch pads? We did. Who built the towering VAB? Not Neil Armstrong. Who tested everything to make sure it was perfect?
I am mighty tired of the public listening to the pap NASA spews out. No one has told the adults and kids of today that what they are hearing is bull s**t. We have given all the astronauts their due for over 40 years. They are nice folks but if not for us, they would be sitting on the ground. Enough is enough.
I receive emails asking me to promote someone's media stuff. They are invaribally about Apollo 11 or Apollo 13.
I receive emails telling me to read this or that book. Why should I buy someone else's book when I lived it? Anyway every book is about NASA or the astronauts. Gag. If you want me to read someone's book, buy it and send it to me.

Yes, I am not happy.
