Today, July 20th, marks the 41st anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. To commemorate this grandest event in the history of exploration, Cleveland-area Western Reserve PBS will be featuring two and a half hours worth of Apollo-related programming. Just be sure to change the time on the interactive schedule to 8pm tonight.
First up, at 8pm, there will be an hour-long program that spotlights the lives of the Apollo astronauts' wives and what life was like for them at the height of the space race when they saw their husbands blast off into space. The program will also examine what it was like trying to raise a family in such circumstances and the toll life in the public eye took on a normal existence.
Next will be a hour and a half program featuring the Apollo Program itself, an exact description of which was not provided by the PBS website, but which I would expect to be about the program's origins, technology, and race to get a man on the Moon before the Russians.
If this program interests you, be sure to set the TV recording device of your choice for 8-10:30pm tonight as these programs will not be rebroadcast over night like PBS often does with other programming.
