Washington Goes to the Moon: Against the Tide

Produced by:

Richard Paul

Thirty and forty years removed now from the debate over Apollo, we look back to a time when American public support of the space program was uncertain. Skeptics came at their opposition from varying perspectives. This program looks and talks (with and about) the opponents of the space program, those who chose to swim against the pro-Apollo tide.
