Sorry to ask a simple question.
What is the '13 minutes' they are referring to?
I tried to figure it out on my own, then I went through Apollo: The Definitive Sourcebook. I see it's about 13 minutes from LM PDI to landing on Apollo 11. Is that it?
Sorry I haven't caught the series yet. Hope to soon.

Yes, that's exactly it.

I looked for that and missed it. Thank you for your gentle direction.

That was a good listen. Good to hear that Lovell is still fresh and sprightly at age 92.

Thanks very much for posting this, wasn't aware.

Meanwhile, the BBC is now producing the third season of the podcast as well. I was interviewed by them a few weeks ago at the Air Force museum for season 3. It focuses on shuttle.

Blackstar · « **Reply #31 on:** 04/08/2023 08:40 pm »

Only 6 days left and they are not even one third of the way to their goal. That is disappointing.

21 hours left and about 88% of the way to their goal.

Go for 16 sunsets.

Blackstar · « **Reply #33 on:** 04/14/2023 02:53 pm »

They still need $14,000. My understanding of Kickstarter is that if they do not reach that goal, none of the backers gets charged, and then they need to do the whole thing over again. Is that true?

I backed them yesterday, even though I've done interviews for season 3 of "13 Minutes to the Moon." The more the merrier.

Both series of "13 Minutes To The Moon" were excellent. I can highly recommend them, and if Blackstar liked them, they can't be bad.

Please help these guys with their new project.

AnthonyA · « **Reply #35 on:** 04/15/2023 11:20 am »

They did it! Go 16 Sunsets!

(Worriedly checks how much he donated).

Blackstar · « **Reply #36 on:** 04/15/2023 12:22 pm »

£97,255 pledged of £93,880 goal

Star One · « **Reply #37 on:** 05/18/2023 07:14 am »

The third season of this series will be looking at the story of the Space Shuttle, before that will be a live show with Shuttle astronaut Kay Hire.

I got an update about 16 Sunsets. See image. Not sure if I am allowed to share the link, so I did not.

Still have not heard anything about the third season of 13 Minutes (the one I was interviewed for in March 2023).

Although everybody and their dog now has a podcast, somebody told me that the ad revenue for podcasts has taken a big hit recently. So that might be hurting the BBC one.

I think the 13 minutes third series and the sixteen sunsets are one and the same? Unless I'm missing something!
