A man on the moon in the early 60s: a national dream. A reality by the end of the decade. NASA’s scientists and engineers worked hard to develop the gear and equipment necessary for safe missions into space. Among that gear was the Apollo pressurized moon suit: a suit that would allow an astronaut to survive the harsh conditions of the lunar surface. The lava fields in central Oregon became the perfect testing grounds for both astronauts and the moon suit. Produced by Denise Matthews, written by Brian Hinderberger & Cheryl Tan.
