About this episode
The episode explores the story of the first moon landing and the challenges faced during the space race.
We dive deeper into the story of the first moon landing, as we approach what would be the finish line of the space race. We set off on a mission full of death defying risks, including Darren’s well publicised deepest fear of drifting through the vastness of space. The lads wonder if they'd have the qualifications needed to become astronauts, there's a warning about killer space ants, and we hear about the world's most awesome machine (and explain its power using some classic Stall It calculations). Joe complains that everything is going suspiciously well as the lunar surface draws nearer, but there’s problems to come as Apollo 11, and the race to the moon, comes within just seconds of disaster.
