![AndrewSErickson's tweet photo. Update regarding #JoeGavin’s responsibilities as #LM Program Manager from Sept 1963, just 8 mo. after #Grumman signed a contract w/ #NASA.
“Gavin is...getting his subcontractors selected & qualified by @NASA. The 1st [LM] mockup is just being completed.”

#JoeGavin never failed to give satisfactory answers to these questions.
The results live on in the families of 3 astronauts who never would have returned home without a conservatively-engineered lifeboat: the #Grumman #LunarModule...

#JoeGavin: Aerospace Project Engineer must answer “a few very basic ?s…in ~ every instance;
If I permit the project to progress in this direction
*Would I go as a pilot?
*Would I ask my best friend to go as a pilot?
*Would I invest my own money?
*Does this action really count?”
#JoeGavin: “...#aerospace engineering is a little bit different. The margins are less, & you’re defying gravity every day. The results, if you fail, are quite notable. Being an aeronautical engineer myself, [I can attest that] we live more dangerously. And so we’re more careful.“

An aerospace engineering career gave #JoeGavin fascinating experiences, including meeting #LBJ & #Nixon.
Most meaningful to him: “I met Orville #Wright before he died… showed Charles #Lindbergh the #LunarModule under construction; [and] survived the anxious hours of #Apollo13.”

The legendary leader, #JoeGavin recalled, “had one basic direction to all of us..‘You bring the pilot back one way or another.’”

“Successful [#Apollo13] splashdown—all safe!” #JoeGavin wrote on April 17.
@NASA administrator George Low invited him to leave his post against the glass surrounding #MissionControl to enter the main floor.
The room “just burst into cheering…the atmosphere was…so buoyant…”
