At the KSC Press Site, the top operational officials for
Apollo 11 are on a stage facing the press grandstands for the “Prelaunch
Briefing.” They include (left to right) Deke Slayton (flight crew operations),
Dr. Charles Berry (medical operations), George Low (Apollo program manager),
George Hage (Apollo mission director), Rocco Petrone (KSC launch operations
director), Lee James (Saturn V program manager), Ozro Covington (Goddard
support) and Col Royce Olson (DOD space flight support). NASA’s Jack King (right)
is the moderator. Hage reports that all is proceeding well toward the planned
launch tomorrow at 9:32 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Petrone states the weather
looks very good as far as launch conditions. Then the members of the media go
on to ask a series of mostly inane questions. We briefly talk to Deke Slayton
and Dr. Berry
