The Missing Chapter Podcast

It's the Great Moon Landing, Charlie Brown

The history of the U.S. space program is the story of American pioneers; brave men and women who boldly went where no one before them had gone. Their names have become synonymous with bravery and courage – Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell.  We shared in their accomplishments – Apollo 11 - held our breath in their struggles – Apollo 13 – and wept in their disasters – Challenger.

But some of the most amazing, most unbelievable stories surrounding our space program are some to the most obscure – perfect for an inquisitive podcast devoted to exposing lesser-known stories from history. For instance, did you know that America’s most iconic cartoon character was also a crew member on the mission that set the stage for the moon landing? Or that that same illustrated beagle is the moniker gifted to NASA members who go above and beyond for the betterment of the program?

On this episode of The Missing Chapter, the unique relationship that exists between America’s establishment to explore the stars… and a beloved star here on earth.
