A Bedtime Story of Apollo 11 and the First Steps on the Moon | SleepWise

from SleepWise: Learn Softly, Sleep Deeply · host SleepWise

Tonight, a calm bedtime story of Apollo 11 and the first moon landing in July of 1969. The story of how Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins traveled from the Florida coast to the Sea of Tranquility, told slowly and gently for sleep.We move through the long dream of reaching the moon, the Cold War rivalry that pushed the program forward, the building of the Saturn V rocket, and the patient years of Mercury and Gemini that prepared the way. We follow the crew through four days of cislunar darkness, through the strange computer alarms of the descent, and into the quiet of footprints in dust older than the Earth itself.We also remember Michael Collins, the third astronaut, who waited alone in lunar orbit while Armstrong and Aldrin walked below. His story is quieter, and worth telling.Let the voice carry you. There is nothing to remember, nothing to solve. The moon is still above you, exactly where it has always been.If these slow stories help you rest, follow SleepWise and share them with someone who might enjoy falling asleep while learning something new.—-#apollo11, #moonlanding, #apollo11moonlanding, #firstmoonlanding, #neilarmstrong, #buzzaldrin, #michaelcollins, #seaoftranquility, #saturnv, #nasa, #apolloprogram, #spacerace, #1969moonlanding, #lunarmodule, #commandmodule, #eagle, #columbia, #onesmallstep, #onegiantleap, #tranquilitybase, #moonwalk, #lunarsurface, #spacehistory, #coldwarspace, #kennedyspacecenter, #missioncontrol, #houston, #apolloera, #lunarmission, #astronauts, #spacecraft, #rocketlaunch, #cislunarspace, #lunarorbit, #lunardescent, #spacestory, #historyofspace, #spaceexploration, #sleepwise, #sleepstory, #bedtimestory, #bedtimestoryforadults, #sleepstoryforadults, #calmbedtimestory, #sleepmeditation, #sleeppodcast, #fallasleep, #fallasleepfast, #relaxingstory, #relaxingvoice, #soothingstory, #soothingvoice, #calmstory, #peacefulstory, #quietstory, #educationalbedtimestory, #historybedtimestory, #sciencebedtimestory, #sleepaid, #insomniarelief, #nightlistening, #lateNightstory, #drifttosleep, #sleepwell, #goodnight, #bedtime, #relaxation, #meditation, #mindfulness, #spacepodcast, #sciencestory, #historystory, #educationalcontent, #learnwhileyousleep, #youtubesleep, #spacefacts
