How was this accomplished five decades ago? By the ingenuity and dedication of a company founded in the heartland of America - The Collins Radio Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Collins Story - Connecting the Moon to the Earth - tells the little-known story of the people who designed the space communication systems and how they did it. These systems were technical feats that had never been done before, and played a crucial role in America's race to be first to land a man on the moon. This third chapter of a three-part series, tells the stories behind Apollo missions, including the historic 11, and perilous 13, and the impact Collins Radio has had on the future of space travel, right up to today's explorations.
