Episode 532, One Giant Leap

​This week on Wind & Rhythm, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and moon landing.  It was 50 years ago, in July of 1969 that Apollo 11 set off for the moon enabling the first two humans to walk on the surface of another world.  Back on Earth, people from around the globe were transfixed on this seemingly impossible event and by what future human endeavors could bring.
