About this episode
The episode discusses recent rainfall in Southeast Georgia, the start of early voting for the upcoming primary election, and the contributions of the Fernbank Science Center to the Apollo missions.
Southeast Georgia got some much-needed rainfall over the weekend – but not nearly enough to put out the tens of thousands of acres ablaze from two wildfires; In-person, early voting is now underway in Georgia for the May 19th primary election; and as a new generation witnesses astronauts travel to the moon for the first time in more than 50 years, we look at how the Fernbank Science Center contributed to the Apollo missions of the 1960s.
