i just visited the space center in Huntsville, Alabama, where the "Instrument Unit" --brain of the Saturn V was built.
it seems like that era was really good for building synergy in teams of people who all worked together.
Apparently even one mission was hit by lightning but since the IU didn't stop working, the rocket kept on its course.
I got the feeling that the bigger conspiracy is that our lives and stuff we were building was actually better 50 years ago.
