About This Episode

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing and President Kennedy’s vision that launched the effort, the JFK Library recently held a Space Summit where an extraordinary group of scientific and business pioneers gathered to discuss the legacy of JFK’s moonshot and what lies ahead for the future of space exploration.

In the first episode of our Summer Space Special, we talk to Apollo 11 Astronaut Michael Collins about his history-making trip to the Moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, along with his thoughts on the future of NASA's space program.
