American democracy has long fueled scientific progress by nurturing innovation, collaboration, and the free exchange of ideas. In this spirit, Apollo honors one of humanity’s greatest triumphs—and near tragedies—through a powerful reimagining of the Apollo 13 mission, focusing on untold stories and Houston inspirations.
Among them is Miguel Hernandez, who escaped Cuba just before Fidel Castro’s rise and later played a vital role in Project Apollo and at NASA. Hernandez was in Mission Control when the Apollo 13 crew sent the now-legendary message: “Houston, we have a problem.”
Guest Artists:
Mark Buller, composer & co-creator
John Cornelius, composer & co-creator
