Apollo Moon Missions Interview

  Find one person to interview about their memory of the Apollo Moon Missions.

 He or she should be at least 50 years old. Sit down and talk to them about what they remember about those missions and those times. Some questions to ask them are given below. Even if someone was in another country at the time, they may have vivid memories of the launches, landings or the first steps on the moon. Or they may remember the panic the media felt about the astronauts that were stuck in Apollo 13.

Be ready to share with your class.
