Discover the history and science behind our exploration of the moon, Mars, and the universe with these talks presented by docents Donn Anderson & John Jennings from Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum.

Saturday, Dec. 14: On December 21, 1968, a mighty Saturn V booster rocket lifted off with three astronauts onboard for the very first time--not to circle the Earth, but to go into orbit around the Moon! Come learn the story of this bold NASA decision as we revisit this history-making flight.
