- Together We Choose - Apollo 50th
- Description
- On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy rallied the nation behind our lunar quest with his iconic "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech at Rice University. This moment ushered in the space age as we now know it. As we look back at our past, and ahead to our next great leap, the National Air and Space Museum gathered aerospace ground breakers--scientists, historians, and astronauts from the Apollo-era to today's commercial crew--to commemorate this historic call to action. Join us as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo program: apollo50.si.edu ----------------------------------------- In Order of Appearance: Ellen Stofan, John and Adrienne Mars Director, National Air and Space Museum Jim Bridenstine, NASA Administrator Jasmin Moghbeli, NASA Astronaut Anne McClain, NASA Astronaut Randy Bresnik, NASA Astronaut Michael Collins, Apollo 11 Astronaut Andrew Morgan, NASA Astronaut Josh Cassada, NASA Astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Sabrina Thompson, NASA Navigation and Mission Design Engineer Tom Jones, Shuttle Astronaut Lynnae Quick, National Air and Space Museum Planetary Geologist Teasel Muir-Harmony, National Air and Space Museum Apollo Curator ----------------------------------------- Archival footage courtesy of NASA.
