Things were not going well aboard Apollo 7: the astronauts felt stressed by the confines of the command module and to top it off, astronaut Wally Schirra developed a painful head cold. The latest in science, culture, and history from Smithsonian Channel.

This weekend marks the anniversary of one of the great achievements in human history: it is 50 years since the giant leap that took man to the moon. In a special edition of the programme, we delve into a UBS Q Series report exploring the new space race being contested by various billionaires who represent the private sector in the new space economy. Our panel of UBS experts will unpack the report and describe the investment opportunities in space travel and tourism. Plus we welcome a very special guest: Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham shares his unique perspective.

Introducing 13 Minutes to the Moon, with Apollo 7 astronaut Walt Cunningham and former Apollo engineer Poppy Northcutt - the first woman to work as an engineer in an operational support role in NASA's Mission Control.

Former Apollo 7 Astronaut Walt Cunningham provides us with first-hand insight in to space exploration as we discuss his career as a fighter pilot, physicist, and experience in being one of the first civilian astronauts for NASA.
