[i]Because of Apollo Eleven's four-mile miss, the Apollo 12 flight planners have made some changes. Apollo Eleven's computer information was out of date before its final descent. Armstrong and Aldrin were too busy preparing for the historic touchdown to work up on the computer the information obtained in 16 minutes of radio contact before the landing. Apollo 12 is to have more than 30 minutes of radio contact with the Earth before landing. This, it is said, is plenty of time to feed the latest tracking data into the lunar module's computer.[/i]
