Apollo: brilliant innovation or regrettable mistake? The Apollo program was famous for being risky and expensive. It sent multiple daring astronauts to the moon, but had a crunched timeline, and lacked modern tech. In this special episode of SciShow, we'll be discussing... was the Apollo program a bad idea?
