But the author is right in specifying my influence on the selection of landing sites (may be because I had excellent relation with Rocco Petrone, Apollo Program Director at NASA HQ) and on the <br>training of astronauts (because I had easy access to them). More importantly I did not carry any baggage or represent views of a given organization such as JSC or the USGS. I spoke for myself as a geologist and my sole aim or purpose was the best for the best for each mission and its success.<br>In the final analysis, we all felt that we were achieving a dream of humanity and everyone worked with no regard to the "self" or how history will evaluate roles.
