July 16 1969, the much anticipated Apollo 11 moon mission begins.
The Saturn V rocket lifts off from Kennedy Space Center, and all seems to be going well.
Then... exactly 90 seconds after liftoff, Apollo 11 goes up in flames and is consumed by a massive explosion. The moment is caught live by multiple cameras and witnessed live by millions across the US and and the world.
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins are all tragically killed in the tragedy, a traumatic blow to the American psyche.
In the aftermath of this tragedy, what shall happen to NASA? How does America and the World react? What effects will the fallout have on the Nixon administration? How viciously would the incident be mocked by the Soviets? And what effect would it have overall on history?
