Buzz Aldrin was on C2CAM earlier in the year. He said they would normally turn off all the armament circuit
breakers flying around, just in case.

It came up talking about him breaking the circuit breaker for the ignition switch for getting off the Moon when suiting up.

Your father-in-law, huh? Did he ever swap stories with John McCain?

I'm guessing not or he might have mentioned it. He served before the build up in Viet Nam. Something interesting to ask him about though.
