Cohosts Eleanor O’Rangers and Tom Hill had the pleasure of interviewing David Chudwin, a physician who has published his memoir entitled, “I was a Teenage Space Reporter.”

In part 2 of our Space 3D interview with David, he describes the physical…. and emotional impact of witnessing the launch of Apollo 11 at Cape Canaveral.

David Chudwin, MD was the only college journalist accredited by NASA to cover the 1969 Apollo 11 launch and first landing on the Moon. At age 19, he was one of only a handful of teenagers with official press passes at the Kennedy Space Center for the launch.

He decided to go into medicine instead of journalism, but as a result of his Apollo 11 experiences he developed a life-long interest in space exploration. Chudwin has written about Apollo 11 in a variety of media, including magazines (Spaceflight), hobby publications (Astrophile) and online (collectSPACE and a Facebook series of 70 daily posts in 2014).
