WKYC To Air: "To The Moon: Ohio's Journey"

Editor's Note: In case you missed the original airing of "To the Moon: Ohio's Journey" in April, WKYC will rebroadcast the show on Saturday, July 18th from 7 until 8 p.m.

-------
As the high definition leader in locally produced programming in Northeast Ohio, WKYC is proud to showcase our region's efforts in space exploration.

We have always looked to the sky. And for a brief moment, mankind walked on a heavenly body other than earth. Ohio was at the heart of it all. Pioneering the technology and sending our bravest into space.

WKYC Channel 3, in partnership with NASA Glenn Research Center, presents a high definition hour long special.

As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, we honor the Ohio men and women who dreamed of a journey beyond all others. We celebrate the local companies that created products and solutions for America's space program. And we take a look back…and a look forward... at what the next missions mean to our region.

"To the Moon: Ohio's Journey" features rare interviews, fascinating archive footage, and a behind the scenes glimpse of the next generation of moon exploration.

The show includes exclusive interviews with John Glenn, James Lovell, NBC space correspondent Jay Barbree, and Dr. Robert Graham along with comments from Neil Armstrong during Glenn Research Center's NASA 50th Anniversary Gala.

"To the Moon: Ohio journey" is hosted by NBC Nightly News Anchor Brian Williams and WKYC News Anchor Romona Robinson.
