In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, RWT staff members Josh Crabb and David Atwell talk about one of the only movies eligible for Rewind dramatizing an Apollo mission, Ron Howard’s Apollo 13. Starring a cavalcade of 1990’s stars, this movie highlights the human drama of a real-life crisis, as well as exemplifying humanity’s ability to work together to ingeniously solve problems. David and Josh also discuss the movie’s hopeful heroism, beating heart of optimism, and inspiring coda of returning to the moon. Plus, David flexes his space knowledge much to the amazement of Josh!
