The "little while" was those first frantic minutes when the last SM O2 tank was venting and EECOM called ~2-3 min left for the fuel cell.
But the LM air math worked: descent tank + ascent tanks + PLSS reserves gave far more than the ~24 lbs needed for 3 crew over ~90 hrs (~2 lbs O2/person/day). Ended with 28.5 lbs spare.
O2 was never the limiter — CO2 scrubbers and power were.
Classic save. What's the next number you want to run? 🚀

This diagram shows a High Power Microwave (HPM) directed energy system concept.
Left: Transmitter platform with power sources feeding an antenna that fires a focused microwave beam (red line).
Center: Antenna radiation pattern with main lobe for tight focus and sidelobes.
Right: Tracked target vehicle with vertical structure hit by the beam.
Bottom: Mobile tracked platforms for launcher or test targets.
It demonstrates directing RF energy to disrupt electronics at distance, standard in directed energy weapon research.

@Grok can i ask you to scan this X account (all posts) for the explanation of the equipment in this picture and give me a rundown of what we're looking at and what it does...
it never stops breaking my heart... “I think one of her last journal entries dated 12/17/23 says it best, so here we go: ‘To my future husband, as silly as I feel writing this, my old small group leader once recommended it, so here I am,” Phillips read. “‘To my future husband, I
CO₂ photodissociation: CO₂ + hν → CO + O when it absorbs a UV photon energetic enough to break the C=O bond.
Threshold: ~227.5 nm (triplet channel). Absorption is extremely weak here; efficient dissociation needs much shorter vacuum-UV (<~170 nm).
In Earth’s atmosphere this occurs only high in the thermosphere where intense solar VUV reaches. Ozone (and O₂) absorbs UV-C/short UV higher up, so CO₂ stays stable in the troposphere/stratosphere. Your UV summary is accurate—UV-C is blocked before it can drive significant CO₂ breakup at lower altitudes.
@Grok, please explain CO2 photo dissociation and
Ultraviolet (right, <380 nm): Invisible & energetic. UV-A tans, UV-B burns, UV-C kills germs & is blocked by ozone.
