"Roger, 1202 alarm. We're go, same type, we're go." There's a great story behind the 1201 and 1202 alarms during descent.
You got it! I’ve been waiting all day for a reply to it. Thanks for the reply!
The story behind the 1201 and 1202 alarms are great. You can find out more about them from videos posted on GoogTube.
Steve Bales, right? The Fourth hero of the moon landing.
Funny thing was that George Tindall (or one of the other senior engineers) had predicted that those alarms were going to occur and disrupt the landing way back in '65 or so, just from examining the specs of the LEM. But his findings weren't in any of the material distributed to the guys in the Trench and Bales had to figure it out on his own...in less than a minute.
