Perhaps you have heard the expression "chasing the sun," but what about "chasing the moon?" Thanks to The Road to Apollo: An Interactive Journey you can do just that. This resource is an extension of PBS's American Experience and offers a companion to a three-part film produced by Robert Stone that premiered on July 8, 2019. Viewers are invited right into the action, clicking through informative panels that break down the history and significance of the first man on the moon, from the Sputnik shock in 1957 to the inception of NASA to Apollo Missions 1, 8, and 11. The journey includes the politics, physics, and people involved in the moon landing, a world-changing experience watched by over a fifth of the world's population on that fateful day in July 1969. Readers interested in watching the entire documentary can do so on the PBS site.
