Due to some work travels, we didn't get out a new episode this week. However, the 50th anniversary of the moon landing is soon to be here on July 20th, so we thought we'd re-share our memorable moon landing history from last summer. We hope you enjoy, and we'll be back with a new episode in 2 weeks!
