| Summary: | Larry Sheaks / Fayetteville, Tennessee / Sheaks used to work for [Applied] Signal, and was on mission control desk for several space shots, including Apollo 13. He gave order for astronauts to flip switch that caught oxygen tank on fire. He loaned his flight log from those flights to U.S. Space and Rocket Center to put in their educational display and they lost them. He's still pissed about it. It was a memento that he valued highly. Salinero will interview him at length about his career and about lost documents. He has some souvenirs that we can use for photo shoot. |
