Hugh Dryden's memo of 29 July 1960 gives the follow-on plan for Mercury, named Apollo. The objectives were stated as manned missions in Earth orbit, creation of a temporary orbital scientific research platform and circumlunar missions.

The evidence is that Apollo was not, first and foremost, a lunar program but a general purpose program which could, but need not, be used for a circumlunar (but not lunar landing) mission.



At my age I positively delight and am astounded when my memory still proves right. ;-)
