Show NotesHost Paul Ring recalls his interview with Apollo 12 Lunar Module Pilot, and Skylab II Commander Alan Bean. Whip up a spaghetti dinner and enjoy this premiere episode of The Launch Pad Space Podcast.
The show opens with a quick introduction to the host and the podcast, including what it is and what we hope it will become. Then, Ring then talks about his first interaction with Bean on a Sunday night in July 2009.
In the first clip, Bean talks about his experiences as Apollo 12 launched into a thunderstorm. It’s an oft-told tale, but this time without discussion of a certain Signal Conditioning Equipment switch. This discussion segues into talk about the computers aboard the launch vehicle and the spacecraft.
The subject then switched to food. Bean says the food was “pretty good,” but he said he had a favorite meal from Earth that he wanted to be the first to eat on the Moon. As far as anyone can tell, he was.
Lastly, he spoke about coming up to the Boston area to work with the people from the Draper Lab at the Massachusetts Institution of Technology. He also talked about sense of pride he has with everyone who worked on the Apollo Program.
Then Ring goes on to detail Bean’s Skylab achievements and tells a story about the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 12 launch, when he met Bean in person.
