<prompt> Yayiyini injongo yemishini yokukhuphuka ngokuqondile? Njengoba kunikezwe umbuzo odlule, bhala umongo onempendulo yawo. Kungaba imisho engu-1 kuya kwengu-20. Umongo:  <response>: Ekuqaleni kuka-1961, ukwenyuka ngokuqondile ngokuvamile kwakuyindlela yokuthunywa eyayithandwa yiNASA. Onjiniyela abaningi babesaba ukuthi ukuhlangana - ingasaphathwa eyokuhlangana - okwakungakaze kuhlolwe ngisho nasemkhathini ozungeza umhlaba, kwakuyoba nzima kakhulu emkhathini ozungeza inyanga. Abaphikisi abahlanganisa noJohn Houbolt waseLangley Research Center bagcizelela ukunciphisa umzimba okubalulekile okwakunikezwa indlela ye-LOR. Kuwo wonke unyaka ka-1960 no-1961, uHoubolt wenza umkhankaso wokuqashelwa kwe-LOR njengenketho esebenzayo futhi esebenzayo. Eqa isikhundla se-NASA, wathumela uchungechunge lwamamemo nemibiko ngalolu daba kuMqondisi ohlangene uRobert Seamans; ngenkathi evuma ukuthi ukhulume njengezwi ehlane, uHoubolt wanxusa ukuthi i-LOR akufanele isuswe ezifundweni zalo mbuzo.
