”Going to the Moon, Part 1. A case study on what can happen when a nation comes together” with author and podcast host, Mr. Rick Houston

American history is riddled with historic highs and lows, events of greatness, and events of despair. However, there have been the occasional moments when the nation as a whole was linked arm in arm in a common goal, and in 1962, that goal was to put a man on the moon. The process was a mystery, the objective almost a dream, but for those involved, no one told them it couldn’t be done, so they did it. On today’s episode I welcome Mr. Rick Houston. He is NASCAR historian, podcast host, NASA enthusiast, and the author of the book “Go Flight, the unsung heroes of MC”. We talk about his adventures as a journalist, his experience writing “Go Flight” and some amazing stories never been told from behind the scenes of NASA’s mission control. As well as a short story about how having the last name Houston pretty much guarantees you will become a NASA nerd. Enjoy!
