In July of 1969, three astronauts on board Apollo 11 rocketed into space. The result would be one of the greatest achievements in exploration in history – the landing – and walking – on the moon.
This episode chronicles the events of the moon landing, focusing on the three astronauts – Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin.
Also, regarding this episode. The Explorers Podcast would like to give a huge thank you to Mr. Ross Arbour. Ross is a fan of the show, and a history buff. Ross, who is a news writer in Canada, offered to write the script for this episode – and we were thrilled with the result. So thanks to friend of the podcast Ross Arbour, who made this episode possible.
