Engineering vs. Imagination in Spacecraft Recovery Techniques
R
Dear Mr. Levy:Your recent letter to Mr. James Beggs asks whether the Apollo (and previous era spacecraft) "splashdown" recovery technique owes anything to ] film Le Voyage dans la lune. Although the similarities are striking, the recovery technique used for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules was dictated more by the then-current engineering capabilities than any imaginative interplay between the engineers and Monsieur Méliès.
