  The reason some of us wanted EOR was not just to go tothe moon but to have something afterwards: orbital operations, aspace station, a springboard. LOR was a one-shot deal, very limited,very inflexible.   By 1969, it was apparent that there was nological sequel to the lunar landing, and that the agency would haveto redeploy its resources in a radically different direction. HadNASA selected earth-orbit rendezvous instead, the lunar landing couldstill have been achieved and NASA would have had at least a ten-yearstart on deploying an orbiting space station, rather than waitinguntil 1982 to let contracts for its design. // Дальше — history.nasa.gov
