As part of our program to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first footsteps on the Moon, the Planetarium presents the show Capcom Go!

The show describes how the United States space agency NASA began its human spaceflight program with the launch of the first American into space in the early 1960s. NASA gradually built up its expertise until it was ready to attempt the July 1969 lunar landing.

The show's title, Capcom Go!, relates to the person in the mission control centre who was given the title Capcom short for 'Capsule Communicator'. It was Capcom's role to be the only person speaking with the astronauts.
