In 1959, the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force had full control over America’s space program and proposed an ambitious plan: to build a military base on the Moon. In this engaging program, you’ll learn about the mission’s development, the challenges faced and why it was ultimately abandoned—while exploring whether that dream could become a reality today.
