"We Didn't Know That It Could Be Done"

For 6 Music In Space Week, Prof Richard Wiseman continues his chat with Chris as to why young people's self belief was vital in achieving JFK's dream to land man on the Moon.

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade, not because that will be easy, but because it will be hard" - John F. Kennedy
On 20th July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon - one of mankind鈥檚 greatest achievements.

Throughout 6 Music In Space Week, author Richard Wiseman joins Chris Hawkins to share his pioneering study of the mindset that took humanity to the Moon and demonstrates ways in which the same mindset is available to us all.

It was the 鈥楢pollo Mindset鈥� that led to the first person walking on the Moon, & Richard feels its available to us all. From preparation to self belief and improvisation to courage, Professor Wiseman explains how the Moon landing in 1969 can harness that pioneering spirit in your own life.

PLUS there's all the usual Tuesday business inc. The Plink Test, a second selection from our 5 Before 6 DJ, as well as one of your Lost Loves.
