Re: Apollo TV and Communications Documentation
If you read deep enough into the spec of the S-band comms system, you find a very sensible but utterly amazing fact -
if all else failed, the crew could key their transmitters using a hand mic PTT switch and communicate in Morse!
It's the little hidden gems of info like that that prove it all happened! Who on earth would think to fake something so esoteric and eccentric! Yet, with the crews being experienced test pilots, such a system makes absolute sense.
