During my undergraduate years at the University of Maryland, I worked part-time in the Physics Department, which was internationally known for their work in lasers and gravitational field theory.
In July 1969, my boss Walter Cree at the physics department asked me to be a courier and deliver three expensive green filters to the Apollo 11 astronauts at Cape Kennedy days before the historic Apollo 11 launch. My ex-wife Patricia (then my fiance’) worked at the Space Physics Department and, though she paid her own way (UofMD paid my fare and lodging), she decided to fly with me to the Cape in Florida. This audio excerpt is taken from the a “call in” interview that I did with historian Tim Miller & George Noory on Coast-to-Coast on the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 touchdown on the Sea of Tranquility and Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon.To hear the interview, Weiskopf Delivers Green filters to Apollo 11 Astronauts at Cape Kennedy
