This very first eight-episode series is about the history of human space flight, the birth of the US commercial space industry, and the rise of SpaceX.
Today we will dive into the exhilarating story of Apollo missions, from the triumphant touchdown of Apollo 11 to the "successful failure" of Apollo 13, and finally to the last lunar footsteps of Apollo 17. Discover the awe-inspiring journey that forever marked human history and our understanding of the moon.
(This episode is a condensed summary of Chapters 1,3,5,7,13 from A Man on the Moon by Andrew Chaikin. For any feedback, please contact: cur2zong@gmail.com)

Welcome to Curiosity Curated, my experimental podcast project, where I share intriguing stories from my reading. I’m an avid reader and enjoy reading. I started this personal project to explore a new aspect of this hobby by sharing it. The project itself and the content I aim to share are curiosity-driven and, in some sense, open-ended.
So bear with me as I embark on this journey. Please feel free to reach out with any feedback on how I can improve. Thanks for your patience and listening.
