I was just watching a History channel presentation of "Failure is Not an Option". If Apollo 8 had the bad oxygen tank and since it had no LM to act as a lifeboat, the astronauts would have been lost. I wonder, if that had happened at that stage of the Apollo missions, if we ever would have landed on the moon? I think we would have, but it would have taken a long time. But what if the astronauts had been left in kind of a semi-permanent orbit? That would have been tough for the public to have continued.
