To the Moon and Back: An Evening with America’s Space Heroes featured in Union-Tribune

Science and Environment reporter Gary Robbins recently featured the San Diego Air & Space Museum’s “To the Moon and Back: An Evening with America’s Space Heroes” event on June 23 in the San Diego Union Tribune. From the article: “The celebration, which is open to the public, is designed to honor Walt Cunningham (Apollo 7), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), Al Worden (Apollo 15), Charlie Duke (Apollo 16), and Gene Cernan (Apollo 17).” Robbins goes on to note that three flight directors from the Apollo program – Gerry Griffin (Apollo 12, 15 and 17, as well as a key figure in Apollo 13), Glynn Lunney (Apollo 13), and Milt Windler (Apollo 13) – will also join the tribute. In the article, Francis French, Director of Education for the Museum is quoted as saying: “To voyage from our own planet for the first time and visit another place in the universe is a moment in human history that has yet to be equaled. To be able to sit in a room with people who made that journey is an experience that will stay with your forever.” To the Moon and Back will feature panel discussions with the astronauts, flight leaders, and key personnel from the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. Tickets for To the Moon and Back are available at www.sandiegoairandspace.org/events/moon.
