My radio stations, KTBB AM & FM, together with our website www.ktbb.com, aired a five-part series on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. (View the five-part video series here). In connection with the story, I visited the Johnson Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, saw the Apollo mission control room and was briefed on the Constellation project, NASA's hope for returning to the moon. A week later, it was off to the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida for photos of the historic sites of the manned space program. Because the launch of Space Shuttle Endeavor on mission STS-127 had been scrubbed on five previous attempts, the trip to the Cape happened to coincide with the sixth and successful attempt to get the shuttle into orbit.
