What if Apollo 11 never came home?
In this recovered timeline, the ascent engine fails. Armstrong and Aldrin are stranded on the Moon. What follows is global grief, a reshaped NASA, and a society forever changed by sacrifice. Through the lives of one family—engineers, activists, astronauts—we trace the emotional and technological legacy of that silent golden spider left at Tranquility Base.
This is not a memorial. It is a turning point.
