The media-books, films and movies have portrayed Mankind's finest achievement in a false light. All the public sees or hears about are the Astronauts, Cape Kennedy and Cap Com in Houston. These people made up of maybe less than 2% of the entire workforce. Yes, the astronauts deserve the glory. But enough is enough. Who made Apollo work? Who completed the tasks to make the greatest rocket in the world? Who designed and built the Command Module so our Astronauts stayed safe?
PEOPLE DID. Over 400,000 of us. We were the peons in the pits. Never mentioned. Never thanked. Ignored for over 40 years. Our greatest achievement in history is slipping away. Do you care? Dis-interest and indifference reign supreme. Our stories are those of which legends are made. Do you think of the recovery crews and sailors on the ships?
Do you have any idea of how many disasters were adverted because we cared? My team and I never forgot for whom we were really working-not the contractors, not the President of the U.S. and not NASA. We could have cared less if a Communist was lurking anywhere about. We were working for the Astronauts! Above all else, their safety was our concern and 1st priority. You astronauts were sent into space with the greatest love. That is why you all made it home safely. We loved you.
