Join us for a look back at one of the most dynamic and fascinating NASA space Programs of the 20th Century.  Ed Grace will share his experiences of the Apollo Space Program from 1963 to 1972 through the eyes of a MIT Engineer, who was involved with the design and development of the Inertial Navigation & Control System used to fly the Command Module and Lunar Module on all Apollo Missions which included the Apollo Computer. Ed Grace was a member of the Johnson Space Center Mission Control Team in Houston for the Apollo 13 Flight and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon for his participation in the Apollo 13 Mission and the safe return of the Astronauts after their Service Module exploded on their journey to the Moon.
