Granted that Tycho is a very interesting place, is it
worth one of the few remaining Apollo flights if (for example) you don't
have enough payload to take a rover, so you're limited to exploring the
area the crew can walk to?
In these cases, was the CM in the same plane as the Earth and Moon,
ie the simpliest? Or was it maneouvred to change it's orbit?
I'm thinking it would take less overall fuel to keep the CM in the
same plane each mission, and just spend fuel on maneouvring the LM.
Were there places on the moon the LM could not reach?
Thanks, Stan
