On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon and changed history for space exploration. In this video astronaut and Farragut graduate, Charlie Duke ’53 — who later became the 10th and youngest man to walk on the moon with Apollo 16 — recalls his experience being CAPCOM for the landing. 
These moments make us so proud yet humbled that we could be at the beginning of a journey that led to the moon. “Keep your vision wide,” says Charlie. 
Farragut graduate Alan Shepard ’41 also walked on the moon with Apollo 14.
