One Giant Leap: North Carolina to the Moon [and Back]

North Carolina has many connections to the Space Race! On April 5, 2019, we explored Tar Heel ties to the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions with a very special guest: Mr. Gerry Griffin. Mr. Griffin is a former director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston and, during NASA’s Apollo program, he was a flight director in Mission Control.
