John Young flew six different missions for NASA, each one unique and important in its own way. In his forty-two years of service, he set firsts unlike anyone else in the program.

We sit down with Brendan Byrne of WMFE 90.7 News to discuss Young, Apollo 10, and the future of space travel in the state of Florida. Check out his podcast, Are We There Yet? from WMFE!
