In 1961 President Kennedy challenged the country to go to the moon in fewer than 10 years having accomplished but a single 15 minute long of spaceflight.

In 2978 days we did.

This task required a spectacular amount of innovative engineering in dozens of fields even by today's standards. All of the gadgets and gauges, devices, controls of all types, valves, velcro and valsalvas, rocket nozzles, wheels and wiring, microelectronics and protection against moon dust, beta cloth, neck-rings, contact and .05G lights, drogues, gold mylar and landing pads. And art. I want to expose the artistry in the engineering of space travel.

Up close.
