We tend to picture the Moon as a grey, dusty playground. But according to Apollo 16 astronaut Charles Duke, the reality is far more "alien" and terrifying than any camera could ever capture.In this exclusive deep dive, we sit down with the man who has one of the most unique resumes in the galaxy. Before he walked on the lunar surface himself, Charlie Duke was the CapCom—the voice in Mission Control who talked Neil Armstrong through the white-knuckle landing of Apollo 11.Now in his late eighties, Duke is taking the gloves off. He describes the "terrifyingly black sky," the visual void that swallowed all light, and the stark contrasts that no photograph has ever done justice. We explore the untold scientific victories of his mission, including the deployment of the first lunar telescope, and why he spends his days fighting back against Moon Landing Skeptics.This isn't just a history lesson; it's a bridge to the future. We discuss why Duke believes we must go back to the Moon to prepare for the ultimate leap: Human exploration of Mars.In this episode, we uncover:The Visual Void: Why the sky on the Moon looks nothing like it does in movies.The Voice of History: What it felt like to guide the Eagle to the surface in 1969.Debunking the Hoax: Duke’s blunt message to conspiracy theorists.Mars 2030: Why the next generation must go further than Apollo ever did.🎧 Press play to hear the raw, unfiltered truth about leaving Earth.Did this episode reignite your love for space?
