When I was young, I was intriged with the space program, by 1970 however, I had lost interest. When it became apparent, that an urgent solution was needed to save the astronauts lives, I followed the news for days - until they returned home safely.

When the solution was found that might work, I was astounded to realize, that what seemed to be an overwhelmingly complex problem, turned out to have an extremely simple solution.
