One Small Step, Discipline, and Focus | Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Episode | TIS 157 - a podcast by Alex G. Orphanos, Science Communicator

Happy 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing! In this special edition of the podcast, I will be sharing my thoughts on the Apollo60th, and hope to cover it from an angle you haven't heard before. To start, we have a launch hangout using the audio from the Saturn V launch on July 16th, 1969 and we finish off with my thoughts on the influence of the Apollo 11 moon landing 50 years later. I also share my logic against the age old argument that "We shouldn't put money and resources into a space program when there are so many things we could use that money for down on Earth". I hope you enjoy!

I'm off to the Houston Space Center next week! If you have any recommendations of what to see when I'm out there - please let me know!
