Episode 3 Lunar Module: Happy 50th Birthday LM! - BIIRS Season 1 - a podcast by Anna and Henna

After some investigative research, we discover the drama and the complexity that were rooted in the development of the Apollo Program’s Lunar Lander. Listen in to learn more about the revolutionary developments in engineering, the heated race between companies to secure contracts and find out where you can find graveyard remnants of the lander’s thruster testing.
