Ep 254: Mind Reading & Masons (Moon Pt 3)

Who invented the moonwalk? Does it really matter?We get derailed by the history of dance before we can take our first step on the lunar surface for the third installment of our deep dive into the moon landing.We then get sidetracked by a debate over if the moon has days and nights, and some (inevitable) talk about flossing on the moon, but it’s not long before we’re skipping into tales of moon rocks in Finglas, the little known truth behind Neil Armstrong’s most famous quote, and secret holy ceremonies and secret telepathic experiments on the moon - and all on NASA’s time.After their high risk landing the Apollo 11 astronauts may have hoped to be free of danger, but we hear how a broken switch, a high ladder step and a quickly shutting door could have caused separate disasters, in the space of just a few minutes.The conversation gets heated over talk of visible wires holding up the astronauts, and we all share in the childlike joy of Darren Conway realizing his new moon toys have a secret power.Send all of your questions, comments & deep dive suggestions to [email protected]
