This episode chronicles several of the major decisions that define the Apollo mission including: the decision to use a lunar module that detached from the command module rather than one giant spaceship landing on the moon; the decision to have Neil Armstrong be the first person to walk on the moon; the decision to move forward after a horrific fire took the lives of three astronauts; and the surprising decision on who should be the first astronauts. Part of the "Countdown to Apollo" series.
