To the Moon and Back: Apollo 8 and the Inspired Generations

"In a press conference on February 27, millionaire Dennis Tito introduced the world to Inspiration Mars. The plan for this so-called "mission for America" is to send a manned spacecraft hurtling around the far side of Mars where the planet's gravity will slingshot the astronauts back to Earth. The mission's purpose, as its name suggests, is to inspire a new generation to pursue careers in sciences, technology, engineering, and maths. More than one speaker likened this mission to Apollo 8, NASA's first flight to the Moon in December of 1968."
