Among recently published books, both Aldrin's MEN FROM EARTH and Harry Hurt III's FOR ALL MANKIND describe the events surrounding the 1202 and 1201 alarms. Both books claim that Bales, as GUIDO, made the decision to ignore the alarms. (I don't believe that Collins deals with this topic in either of his books, but I could be wrong about that.) -- Charlie Richter MCC Austin, Texas uucp: richter@milano.uucp arpa: richter@mcc.com I just read Mike Collin's first book (newly reprinted), and he mentions this event in passing while he was monitoring the landing. He was just going for the manuals to see what a 1202 alarm was when somebody from Houston gave a GO to land. He thought that it was good work on their part. Tedd Pierce Aero/Astro Eng.
