A Message FROM THE Incoming Chair of the NSS Executive
APOLLO 11
FIRST MAN ON THE MOON
THE REAL
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first lunar landing, National Space Society President and “Ad Astra” columnist, Geoffrey Notkin, sat down with his childhood hero, Apollo 11’s Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin, for an exclusive NSS interview about spaceflight past, present, and future.

SETTING THE STAGE
SETTING THE STAGE
Landing humans on the Moon was an enormous undertaking. The massive Saturn V had to be designed, tested and tamed. The Lunar Module had to be developed from whole cloth, and many other machines and systems perfected before the first mission to the lunar surface could be successful. This is the story of that preparation.
CHESLEY BONESTELL:A BRUSH WITH THE FUTURE
Directed and produced by Douglass Sterwart
A COMMANDING PRESENCE: The story of the APOLLO COMMAND MODULE
The Apollo Command Module was a critical component to the lunar missions, and the story of its development-including the tragic tale of Apollo 1—is central to understanding the story of the Apollo program.
A FORGOTTEN FIRST: THE FIRST LIVING CREATURES TO LOOP THE MOON
In the race to beat America to the Moon, the Soviet Union developed two different systems for lunar flight–one for landings, and another for lunar flybys. This story explains how the latter were successfully tested, but came too late to bring the Soviets glory in the space race.
The Apollo Guidance Computer
What would you do with a surplus Apollo Guidance Computer, a true gem of the space age? Here is one man’s quest to revive one such piece of space race history…with a lot of help from like-minded friends.
Not So Hidden:
Ten Unsung Heroes of Apollo
A MISSION TO THE MOON
Eyewitness TO HISTORY
The mission of Apollo 11 was covered primarily by seasoned, mid-life journalists. But one teenager managed to wrangle a press pass–here is David Chudwin’s account of the events of July, 1969, complete with exclusive photos he took of the events.
FIRST ON THE MOON
Hundreds of things had to go according to plan for Apollo 11 to land astronauts on the Moon and return them to Earth successfully. The flight proceeded mostly generally as planned, but there were a number of potential missionstoppers that the general public only learned about later.
A NEW GENERATION OF APOLLO ART:
Inspirations from the International Association of Astronomical Artists.
THE CHILDREN OF APOLLO
To the children of the Apollo astronauts, growing up in the new suburbs outside the Johnson Space Center seemed normal. Upon later reflection, however, it was anything but ordinary. This book excerpt contains the recollections of Rick Armstrong and Andrew Aldrin.
AND DON’T FORGET… ONE IN THE COMMAND MODULE
While we hear much about the astronauts that walked on the Moon, there was a third crewmember on each Apollo mission that was critical to success: the Command Module Pilot, without whom none of the Apollo missions would have accomplished its goals.
APOLLO’S LEGACY
Op-Ed Caught Between The Moon AND A STEAM CARRIER
The Apollo program encouraged countless young people to enter fields such as engineering, science and math. On this 50th anniversary, it’s time to rekindle that passion.
