Over Drinks: A Science Podcast

Cheers to Moon Dust and Badass Women

Co-Hosts Melanie Flores and Ana Silverstein Season 1 Episode 7

52 years ago, on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong took his historic first steps on the surface of the moon. That achievement would not have been possible had it not been for the team of (largely) men and (a handful of) women that tirelessly worked in the months leading up to the Apollo 11 launch. Today, Ana and Melanie celebrate the momentous accomplishments of five women who were crucial to the success of the Apollo 11 mission. Join them over Blue Moon beers as they talk female badass-ery, book recommendations, and realize a common theme amongst the Apollo 11 team members that may just be the key to living a long life.
