i.e. The suit circuit assembly included fans, a heat exchanger (cooling water), and lithium hydroxide to remove CO2 from the air. The suit circuit provided an environmental control system for the cabin and life support for the astronauts' spacesuits. When the mission called for cabin depressurization, e.g., prior to an extravehicular activity, the astronauts hooked up to the suit circuit assembly. The portable life support system provided the same support on the lunar surface.

My family was down in Florida to watch the Apollo launch, with a few 100k friends. I remember the rocket ignition and then several seconds later the rumble of the engines came across the water. You could feel the rumble in your body.

Hanoi now claims they lost over a million men. The U. S. lost 50,000. Apparently,  the U. S. just ran out of bullets and went home.

Plus the threat of the Chinese Army (remember Korea).
