Read the excerpt from Team Moon. The trouble with option 2 was that the venting might push the fuel to an unstable condition. Or, another possible outcome of the âburpingâ: what if the landing gear hadnât deployed correctly? Could any movement, or any resulting burstâno matter how smallâtip the LM over? Many a voice in the debate thought the safest option was to abortânow! But that opinion was quickly overruled by the Grumman and NASA leadership (who were confident of the landing gear), and the consensus of the leaders was that it would be safe to gently, gently burp the engine.
