Bob,

No exactly WEB400 stuff but, just to set the record straight, Apollo
went to the moon nine (9) times: Apollo 8 in Dec. '68 and after that
Apollos 10 thru 17 from May '69 thru Dec '72. Apollo 9 orbited the earth
on March '69.

Sorry about that... When a kid I was a *BIG* fan of the U.S. Space
Program. I am still a fan, although not a kid any longer ... :-)
Best Regards,

Luis Rodríguez
