This episode of The Public Radio Hour features the original WLRH documentary 'One Giant Leap: how integration at NASA helped mankind reach the moon'. We'll retrace how the integration of Werner von Braun's German rocket team, women and minorities into NASA's workforce was necessary for America's successful lunar mission. We'll hear from Joyce Neighbors, Jeanette Scissum, Ravindra Lal, Arthur Hullett, NASA chief historian Bill Barry, Chasing The Moon filmmaker Robert Stone and Marshall Space Flight Center historian Brian Odom.
Special thanks to Brian Odom for helping us gather interviews through the WLRH Community Newsroom for this project.
