On Wednesday, March 1, former astronaut Ken Mattingly gave a presentation at the Des Moines Area Community College. His presentation focused mostly on his involvement with the Apollo 13 flight. He did talk just a little about the Space Shuttle Program. He gave a very good and informative talk about Apollo 13 and his role and involved with it. After the presentation he was available for photos and to sign autographs. He and I had a very pleasant discussion about his STS-4 landing in shuttle Columbia on July 4, 1982 at Edwards. He stated that was his best landing in his entire aviation and space career! A very pleasant person to meet in person. | |
