Jack Garman, Whose Judgment Call Saved Moon Landing, Has Died
I think I have read various aspects of this event. I would feel enlightened, if someone with more knowledge could provide more details to flesh out my (false?) memories. Different aspects I have read are (1) The programmer (a woman) set up the code, so that in a case of overload it could be simply rebooted; (2) Buzz Aldrin claimed that he took the decision to not abort - I guess he had the final call; and (3) The overload occurred because Buzz didn&#x27;t shut down one function of the computer system that he was expected to.<p>It&#x27;s interesting to me that there can be many viewpoints to such a critical incident. It would be good to have the whole picture.
