Astrum | Apollo 11: The Complete Story | Part 1

Apollo 11 almost failed. How did the crew beat the odds to land on the Moon?

In this new Astrum Extra exclusive, we’re deconstructing the mission that defined an era.


We’ll dive deep into the near-disasters, the groundbreaking physics, and the human grit that put the Apollo 11 crew on the lunar surface (and back home again safely). 


This is the first video of our Mission Profile series here on Astrum Extra.
