Craig lives with his family in Van Nuys, gets top marks in the tenth grade of Grant High School. His father, a onetime jazz saxophonist, recently gave up his job as an insurance agent to manage his son's business affairs.

...tenth lunar revolution, the Apollo crew will fire the SPS engine again-this time for 206 sec. -boosting their speed to 6,060 m.p.h., more than enough to break the moon's gravitational hold and start the spacecraft back toward the earth. About 57 hours later, accelerating under the pull of terrestrial gravity, the astronauts will position their craft properly and then jettison the service module. Streaking into the earth's atmosphere at an angle of 6.5° and a velocity of 24,765 m.p.h., the 11,700-lb. command module-all that will remain...

To minimize the possibility of SPS failure, NASA has made nearly all of the engine's components redundant. If one part were to fail, a duplicate would be on hand to take over...
