Landing On Moon Set Soon
Apollo 8 circumnavigated the moon, boosting plans for a moon landing by April or May. The lunar module, to test in Feb during Apollo 9, may lead to landing on Apollo 11 by May or June next year if Apollo 9 tests succeed. Apollo 10 would test a 10 mile approach but not land, with possible later assignment of a different lunar module if needed.
