Washington Goes To The Moon
The Apollo 11 Moon landing story is always the story of the people at Mission Control, Neil Armstrong and the engineers that accomplished this incredible technological feat. Very few people then look at what happened in Washington, DC. We very nearly didn’t go for political reasons inside the Beltway. The political problems of maintaining a coalition of support to fund the program were just a difficult as were the technical problems that the engineers in the field were facing.
Washington Goes To The Moon is a two-part documentary that tells this story.
Part one airs Saturday, July 13 at 10 pm on AM 820.
Part two airs Saturday, July 20 at 10 pm on AM 820.
