Errata. At 1:27:57, I said that the drill used on the lunar surface was used to produce 6-metre holes. That should have been 3-metre holes – 2.8 metres to be exact.

Dear David and Markus, like the prequel this was an excellent episode, certainly one of my favorites. Thank you very much. @David: Part 1 already persuaded me to get a copy of “How Apollo Flew to the Moon”: it’s absolutely fascinating. I was wondering if there were any plans for a second book along the lines of “How the Space Shuttle Flew to the ISS”?

David and Markus ,excellent show!! This along with the First show with David is among the very best of Omega Tau. Very geeky just like I like it. David your Scottish accent is kick ass. Markus you too. Please keep the technical stuff coming. And please consider a 3rd Apollo episode with David. Alot was covered but I am sure there is way more details and anecdotes that can be covered..Thank you both!

Another superb episode. I love listening to Mr Woods. Bought three copies of his Moon book, for me and others.

Would love it if a podcast about the Apollo computers can be done.

Well done, Markus.

Thanks for your kind words, folks. @p, apart from the Rover book I’m working on at the moment, I plan to devote more time to the Apollo Flight Journal, though one never knows what the future will bring. However, I know of a gentleman who is writing a book on the Space Shuttle that was directly inspired by ‘How Apollo Flew to the Moon’. http://www.amazon.com/To-Orbit-Back-Again-Exploration/dp/1461409829

Didn’t yet find the time to hear this episode, because I’m busy with reading “How Apollo Flew To The Moon”. Really great work, David!

Great podcast and great job David.

Have you considered interviewing Leif Svalgaard of Stanford? Something very interesting is happening on the sun, called the Livingston and Penn effect and it might be a great podcast as this is possibly huge, but largely unknown: http://www.leif.org/research/Livingston%20and%20Penn.png

Wieder eine tolle Folge mit Mr. Woods, der sein wirklich profundes Wissen mit einem wunderbaren Humor präsentiert! Inzwischen habe ich diesen schottischen Akzent richtig gern! […»og’schen«…] ;-)
Danke für diesen weiteren Einblick in die erstaunlichen Ingenieurleistungen der 60er/70er Jahre, die mit einfachsten Mitteln offenbar in der Lage waren, auch komplexe Probleme tüftlerisch zu lösen!

@David: thanks for the Amazon link — I just put the Shuttle book on my wish list. Looking forward to your Rover book as well, naturally.
