Apollo 10 Lunar Module Staging

This sequence discusses the staging of the lunar module during the Apollo 10 mission, along with a discussion of the viewpoints in each of the books by Gene Cernan and Tom Stafford, and how each account compares with the film record of the event. (And the date was May 22, 1969, rather than March)...

Also... from the post-flight debriefing, here are the remarks concerning the incident:

STAFFORD: We got the vehicle under control after about, I'd estimate, a 360-degree maneuver.

YOUNG: How close did you get to gimbal lock?

CERNAN: Close enough to get the warning light on.

YOUNG: Better than 5 degrees then.

CERNAN: Somewhere between 15 degrees and 5 degrees. I'm not sure how far around we went. I was able to see the horizon out the window and the lunar surface start moving and I don't know, on the 8-ball, exactly what attitude we realized. We could have maneuvered 30 degrees or we could have maneuvered 90 degrees. All I know is that it was fairly slow, but positive. Whether we did a 360-degree maneuver is difficult for me to say."

And that's it. Where is the 8 revolutions in 15 seconds?
