00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:16,800
July 20, 1969. The day that changed our place in space forever.

2
00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:25,765
When Neil Armstrong took his small step and our giant leap, the whole world was watching.

3
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,160
"It was hard to believe that this was really happening in front of our eyes."

4
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,420
"I remember that my parents were huddled around the television."

5
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:40,340
The astronauts are the names we know,

6
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:42,720
but they're not the only heroes of this story.

7
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,660
The engineers, the geologists, the physicists, the chemists, the biologists.

8
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,880
They were all explorers.

9
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:58,460
NASA Explorers: Apollo is an audio series that tells the stories behind the people who helped make Apollo happen,

10
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,000
and the people who are still discovering things about our Moon today.

11
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,280
We look forward to the future of lunar exploration as much as we celebrate our past.

12
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,940
And ask questions like:

13
00:01:10,820 --> 00:01:13,220
What are we still learning about our Moon?

14
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:17,040
What happened to the lost data of the Apollo era?

15
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,880
And how are today's scientists helping us prepare to go back?

16
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:27,960
You can listen to NASA Explorers on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud and Google Play.
