Armstrong politely didn't mention the "human error" was Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin later admitted leaving the tracking radar on. He was scared they may not be able to find Mike Collins after they left the moon, so at the last minute, he decided to leave the radar unit on, instead of follow procedure. He didn't know the computer didn't have the capacity to track the moon and Collins at the same time. Amazing that Aldrin did this... If they had aborted the mission because of the alarms, you would have to speculate that Aldrin would have never flown again. Come to think about it, he didn't.



Where is this quote from?

I searched for it and only this thread came up on Google.

And it's not in that video.

eta: Nevermind, it's just a random comment on the youtube video
