Currently I'm choking back the tears looking at the moon right now. "He still lights up every single one of my night skies.". I'll be thinking about this one for a while.

@olivier I just listened to this after you recommended and I was actually choking back tears. Looking at the moon now will totally be a different experience from now on. Definitely adding this to my all-time faves list. Thanks for recommending it!

This episode will make you shed a tear and never look at the moon in the same way again. About a man who was never able to make it to the moon, but became the man on the moon.

This was such a touching story! About a love story of two legendary astronomers and the dream of landing on the moon. This may just be the real life version of the Disney Pixar movie, UP! 🎈 💕 🏡
