Legendary NASA flight director Gerry Griffin and award-winning filmmaker Chris Riley join Space Boffins Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham after a showing of London’s immersive Moonwalkers exhibition. Gerry discusses working on the Apollo missions and that infamous SCE to AUX switch as well as giving his thoughts on Artemis and a verdict on Moonwalkers. We also hear how Chris co-wrote the show with Tom Hanks, who played Jim Lovell in the Apollo 13 movie, and what it was like to work with the Hollywood actor and put together a show that’s shown on five surfaces, with walls bigger than an Imax screen.
