John Batchelor and I welcomed back Dr. Roger Launius to talk about his new book, "Apollo's Legacy: Perspectives on the Moon Landings."  Other topics included Apollo era comparisons to today with our new effort to return to the Moon.  Roger addressed our being far more capable today then we were in the 1960's but without congressional leadership, public support, and public money, returning to the Moon may not be possible.  The same for eventually getting humans to Mars.  Roger talked about the new private space business, the space billionaires and their capabilities to do the Moon without government.  He thought government funding was essential and that the privates could not do it alone.  Public opinion then was compared to today, especially given the recent poll the three of us discussed during this one segment ten minute program.  Other topics came up that were relevant to lessons learned from Apollo our modern day efforts to return to the Moon.
