The Untold Story: The Man On The Moon Mission.


The Man on the Mission is regarded as one of the most significant historical events in the world. It formed and molded planetary science, and it provided us with the first view of the Earth from space. Overall, many of the technologies we use in our daily lives would not exist if scientists had not continued to explore space.


You're well-versed in the story, but do you know anything about the people who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the Man on the Moon Mission a success? I bet not.
