Was the Apollo Program a Bad Idea? | A SciShow Documentary

Thank you to our Patreon patrons and Draper's "We Hack the Moon" initiative for supporting this very special episode of SciShow. Go to https://wehackthemoon.com to learn more about how engineers guided us to the moon and back with a fraction of today's technology.

The Apollo program was famous for being risky and expensive. It had a crunched timeline, daring astronauts, and lacked modern tech, and that all kind of makes you wonder… was the Apollo program a bad idea?
