interview with academician A.P. Vinogradov
How do you rate the achievement of “Apollo 11” crew? What are the new problems they had to solve compared to previous manned flights to the Moon?
We highly appreciate the flight of the American spaceship “Apollo-11”, in which two people – Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin first set foot on the lunar surface. Spaceship and its many systems withstood a serious challenge. One can do nothing but admire the courage and self-possession of cosmonauts, who bravely met the unknown. They first landed on the surface of our natural satellite in the moon unit. New challenges are no less complex – ascent from Moon surface and rendezvous with orbiting spaceship
I take this opportunity to congratulate the astronauts with outstanding success and wish them a safe return to Earth.”
