High mountains on the moons surface' apparently rule out a for a lower descent, even rescue. Deke Slayton, head astronaut with the Rational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), said that if me of the astronauts were injured on the moon, the other might, in the low gravity of the moon, be able to get him back inside the spacecraft NASA is not eager to talk about theoretical rescues, but from what little has been indicated, there may be more Small reserves of fuel, daring skirting of disaster by one astronaut to save his fellow spaceman, backup spacecraft systems, and other, unknown capabilities apparently exist The most dangerous part of the flight is at lunar touchdown. If the LM does not land upright it could topple over, making escape from the moon Impossible. This is considered unlikely, since even a tilted landing could be tolerated, but if the module were upset, a recovery would be unlikely. Just before touchdown, the astronauts must decide whether to land or go on to an altersearch nate site. A drawn-ou- t for a landing ' spot could exhaust the landing engine fuel, requiring an emergency abort, and a climb on the ascent engine to rejoin low-lev- el .

In the three seconds it would take for communications to earth and back again, the LM could crash uncontrollably on the moon. At that point the judgment will have to be that of the astronaut pilots and their computers.
