President John F. Kennedy boldly vows that America will land the first astronaut on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. It’s the height of the Cold War.

The Apollo programme, the USA’s daring answer to the race to the Moon, is an epic journey of innovation and exploration. Can Nasa change the course of space history?

Before you decide on a course or review a professor using the Rate My Professors platform, it’s important to understand the best approach to rate a professor online. Online professor rating platforms have become a popular and convenient way for students to share their classroom experiences and help peers make informed decisions. When you rate a professor online, you have the opportunity to reflect on various aspects such as teaching style, workload, communication, and overall effectiveness. The benefit of rating professors online is that your feedback reaches a wide audience, including students who may never meet the professor in person but rely heavily on honest reviews to choose courses wisely.

This podcast is fantastic! I'm listening again for the second time.
listening to this podcast again!
I just finished listening to all episodes. Brilliant podcast, I honestly enjoyed listening to it. There is one aspect that I miss. And that's the return back to Earth. Is it so much easier to return back from the moon? From my impression only half of the story is told as I can imagine, that also the flight back had its stories that would have been worth telling in that podcast. I am eagerly waiting for new podcasts like this one, for now I am switching back to CrowdScience.
1st episode pulled me in enough to continue listening. I love space history so it wasn’t that hard.
Great! amazing, high quality!
Amazing! I want more please BBC. Think Kevin Fong is very good communicator. Liked his tv program about the last shuttle flight. This is great bedtime listening.
in the era of re-runs, we thank BBC for making 5he mother of it all! It's impressive, detailed and tries to match the passion that went into the mission. Good job 👍
fantastic. .
awfully good!
I'm a bit baffled - haven't we given up imperial system after the Challenger disaster in space flight? If this is really 'world service', please stick to science and the metric system.
very enjoyable and informative
Love it ! Love it 👌👍👍
Absolutely loving this!
eagerly waiting for the next episodes.
Awesome! As always great journalism from the BBC.
