Part 48: Spring 1969: Pre-Vote
A bunch of astronauts fully retried this season, but it doesn't matter. This is pretty much all over but the possible exploding at this point.
Also, there's this. I'm sure he'll change his mind if that Lunar Landing goes well though, don't worry. Anyways, here's the status in case you guys want to plan any backups. You know, just in case both sides fail miserably. You have 143 MB.
Also, the situation could come up where a failure happens that asks if you want to scrub in the middle of a mission. What should be done in that case? We haven't seen any yet, but over all my time playing, I've seen the most during Lunar Landings.
