Griffin takes us on a journey through his extraordinary career, from his appointment as a flight director in the wake of the Apollo 1 fire, through the audacious decision to send Apollo 8 around the moon, all the way to the nail-biting rescue of Apollo 13. We also venture behind the scenes of Ron Howard’s Apollo 13 film, where Griffin reveals the real story behind some of Hollywood’s most famous dramatic liberties. It’s a rare, firsthand account of the golden age of human spaceflight — from one of the few people who was there for all of it.Download or subscribe to this show at: https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.Get episodes ad-free with Club TWiT at https://twit.tv/clubtwitSpace news of the weekModel Falcon 9!TOP TELESCOPE PICK:A Celestron telescope on a white backgroundLooking for a telescope to see planets and comets?
