Summary
In this unforgettable Edutainment Learning conversation, students from around the world connect with one of the rarest voices in human history — Charlie Duke, Apollo 16 astronaut and one of only 12 men to ever walk on the Moon. Currently only four are still alive. At just 36 years old, Duke became the youngest person to step onto the lunar surface. A U.S. Air Force Brigadier General, MIT graduate, and former CAPCOM for Apollo 11, he helped guide the first Moon landing — and later experienced it himself. But this story goes beyond space. After his historic mission, Duke experienced a profound personal transformation, becoming a committed Christian and dedicating his life to sharing lessons about leadership, faith, purpose, and perspective gained from seeing Earth from beyond it.
