Description

How did Apollo 11 really get to the Moon?



In the first video of our exclusive Mission Profile series here on Astrum Extra, we’re deconstructing the mission that defined an era: Apollo 11. The story is so epic, we’re telling it in two parts.



In part 1, we’ll dive deep into the near-disasters, the groundbreaking physics, and the human grit that got Apollo 11 to the Moon - narrowly avoiding a crash-landing.
