APOLLO PROGRAM

Our Father joined the Apollo Program in 1967 and trained with IBM until his first launch Apollo 8 in December of 1968.

Training with the Apollo 8 Launch Team

Our Father was only 23 years old. I was 4 months old, when he was training with the Apollo 8 Launch Team in Firing Room 1 that went around the Moon so the Crew could read Genesis to Earthing's from Lunar Orbit!

Our Father (encircled) in Firing Room 1 training with the Apollo 8 Launch Team.

IBM sent him to Boca Raton FL for a few weeks during the time Apollo 8 take flight.  Meaning he missed the launch.  I was ~4 months old when our Father almost launched Apollo 8.

 

Our Father's First Launch was Apollo 9

I was ~7 months old when our Father launched his first Saturn V Rocket for Apollo 9 Mission.

During that flight Astronauts imaged Western Africa for VIPs at NASA. 

One of the most famous images the Crew of Apollo 9 imaged was that of the Eye of Ouadane (pronounced Odan by locals). 

Later that year it was determined that the Eye of Ouadane is the Eye of Ghorus.  Ghorus means "squint".  This is the original location of Lower AEgypt prior to the Boser Blick War Against the Evil Eye (Ayin Hara / Boze Oog). 

The God's Mercury, Gemini and Apollo all have Genesis Era (4000 BCE- 1000 BCE) West African Underworld Origins.  Documenting the Region for analysis was a crucial sideshow that was so fruitful they buried the findings till now.

The Firing Room

Our Father helped launch Apollo 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17 and Skylab 2, 3, and 4.

 The Alpha and The Omega - The First and Last Humans to the Moon, Ever!

Dad launched the First and Last Humans to the Moon from inside FIRING ROOM 1.

 

 

Dad is in fact the reason and inspiration behind FIRING ROOM 1 Podcast Studio.

 

The Alpha: Apollo 11

Apollo 11 Certainly  was the Pinnacle of the Space Program.  Simply being chosen to be in the Firing Room was an honor for our Father.  Launching the First Humans to the Moon the Alphas was a priceless experience for Dad!

 

Dad can be seen here launching Apollo 11 in the film with the same name!
