Taken at Honeysuckle Creek
during the Apollo 8 mission, December 1968.
Mostly taken in the Computer section. Photos supplied by Ron Hicks.
Bruce Withey writes, “For the Apollo 8 mission there was no night
(or day) shift, at least for the Telemetry people, just the one team.
When
the Apollo spacecraft was not in our view, we slept on site in bunk beds downstairs
in a room next to the canteen.
We were there for 16 days straight.”
