189. Charlie Duke: Astronaut – Tenth and Youngest Person to Walk on the Moon
Manage episode 426960348 series 2930325
This week, I had an extraordinary conversation with Mr. Charlie Duke, one of the 12 men who have ever walked on the Moon and the youngest to do so. General Duke, one of only six moon walker astronauts alive today, shares his incredible life story. From growing up in Lancaster, SC, and attending the U.S. Naval Academy, to being selected by NASA as an astronaut in 1966. We delve into his role as CAPCOM on Apollo 11 during the first manned moon landing, his journey on Apollo 16 as a lunar module pilot where he spent over 71 hours on the Moon, and his life after NASA, dedicated to faith and family. Enjoy!
