After locatingGumdropand redocking with it, McDivitt and Schweickart crossed back into the command module, then jettisoned the LEM (part of which would orbit for 12 years).[37]
  • InMoscow,an angry mob of thousands of Russians were brought by buses to the city center, marched to the embassy of thePeople's Republic of Chinaand, over the next three hours, broke more than 100 windows and pelted the walls with hurled ink bottles.

"At the same time, the President announced the discontinuation of further work on theSentinel programpreviously approved by former President Lyndon Johnson, and rejected a plan for deployment of missiles around American cities. "Although every instinct motivates me to provide the American people with complete protection against a major nuclear attack," Nixon said, "it is not now within our power to do so." He conceded that deployment of missiles to protect major cities "still could not prevent a catastrophic level of U.S. fatalities from a deliberate all-out Soviet attack" and added that it might appear to be "the prelude to an offensive strategy" against the USSR.[55][56]
