	[FPSPACE] Tom Stafford at NASM
		Therefore, Stafford figured that if he came up with an American bomber with a similar range and payload capability to the Backfire, by the Soviet calculations it would not be a strategic bomber, even though it would be invisible to radar.
		Stafford then took questions and as usual these were pretty good (the NASM lecture series usually attracts a pretty sophisticated crowd).
		Similarly, with Stafford, we know that he was successful and that Apollo was successful, but what his talk made clear is that there were MANY cases where something could have gone horribly wrong and the crew could have died.
