Professor Richard Wiseman explains how improvisation led to the safe return of the Apollo 11 astronauts and as a result how to thrive in the face of adversity.

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 shares with Chris 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
