Do Go On - 7 - Apollo 11: Moon Landing
play

12/09/15 • 69 min

One small podcast for man...You've heard of the Moon landing, but do you know the whole story? Do you know how close they came to failure and certain death? Armstrong may have been first to walk on the Moon, but Buzz had a couple of his own firsts too. And how about the third astronaut that stayed behind and many people have forgotten? Hear about him and his flatulence. It's the Moon, the landing and the piss bags.
