Description

From a boyhood spent gazing at the sky above rural Ohio to the moment he became the first human to set foot on the Moon, Neil Armstrong’s story is one of quiet determination, curiosity, and courage.

In this gentle episode, you’ll follow Armstrong’s early fascination with flight, his adventures as a naval aviator and test pilot, and the long path that led him to the historic Apollo 11 mission. Discover the thoughtful, reserved man behind the spacesuit—the one who uttered words that would echo across the world: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. This episode is hosted by Ashley Johnson.
