”Going to the Moon, Part 2, The Missions of Apollo 11 & 12. Pressure, shenanigans, and history”, with author, podcast host, and Space nerd, Mr. Rick Houston
In 1962 President JFK announced to the world that the US would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. And after 8 years of trials and tribulations, NASA had made it to the finish line. However, the challenge of crossing that finish line would prove to be a monumental and historic challenge. On today’s episode I welcome back to the show, author, podcast host, and Space NERD, Mr. Rick Houston, for Part 2 of our 3 part series. We talk about the Apollo 11 story, and cover in detail the somewhat unknown but critical significance of the Apollo 12 mission. We also talk astronaut humor, what it's like to be talking on the radio when 900 million people are listening in, and how landing on the moon with only 18 seconds of fuel remaining, is just like taking a walk in the park. Enjoy!
