I had read somewhere that one of the astronauts (cannot remember which
one off hand), when NASA realized that they did not have a suitable
camera for the pending mission, popped out to the local store and bought
a Hasselblad 500...

NASA did use a Rolleiflex 6006 or 6008 at one time. There is a NASA
Rolleiflex 6000 camera which appears on Ebay every so often at a very
high 'Buy it now' price

To completely change the subject from everest.
Why did NASA go with Hasselblad slr, and not Rollei tlr when they went
to the moon.
Politics or mechanics?
