Apollo Legend & American Patriot
Sitting in his new South Carolina home, surrounded by the trophies of his hunts and space memorabilia, I ask Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke to reflect on his humble Southern upbringing and how he landed the trip of a lifetime: a ticket to the Moon and back.
Rockets to Shuttles
The Apollo missions concluded in 1972, giving way to the innovative Space Shuttle Program. This period was characterized by the triumph over design challenges, the unification of America, and the advancement of diversity in space exploration.
What About the Moon?
Everyone asks, “Why haven’t we gone back to the Moon in over 50 years?” The reason lies in budgets, bureaucracies, and risk.
