Smilies Legend
[i]The choice of an eagle as a motif for the landing led to swiftly to naming the landing craft itself Eagle. It was appropriate, Neil and Buzz felt, and it sounded good on the radio. The choice for the CSM was not as obvious, and I was frankly floundering for a name. One day I was chatting long distance with Julian Scheer, NASA's Assistant Administrator for Public Affairs in Washington, and he inquired whether we had yet found a name for our CSM. When I told him no, he said that "some of us up here have been kicking around Columbia."[/i]
