Smilies Legend
[i]We had a difficult time handling the German press; the latter was more disrespectful of our needs and goals than any press I encountered during all of crew training. It was a real circus atmosphere wherever we went and whatever we did. Reports about beer and wine drinking, disgruntled authorities and quarry owners hit the national press. Also, following the field trip, the crew was 'hosted' by Daimler-Benz for a weekend. Reports about test-driving race cars and going elk-hunting etc also forced Deke Slayton to decide that it 'looks like too much fun and not enough work; no more Ries for Apollo 15, 16, and 17.' Too bad! We could never convince him otherwise![/i]
