9 Days in July

July 18, 1969 / “Hungry Kids Can’t Eat Moon Rocks”

The Apollo Program was the result of hundreds of companies, tens of thousands of workers, and billions of dollars. On Apollo 11’s last day in space before reaching the Moon, we look at how America built Apollo, and why, believe it or not, most Americans did not want us to go to the Moon.

Nine Days in July is a new podcast documentary series that explores each of the nine days of the Apollo 11 Mission, day by day, in nine 60-minute-long episodes. While telling the story of the mission to the moon as it occurs, we also spin back, and spin out, into stories about Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, NASA, the Space Race, and the history of the world-at-large during those 9 Days in July.
