NASA's Apollo Gamble | HistoGate Chronicles: Hidden History | Episode 2

Did NASA hide the true biological cost of getting to the Moon? Discover the terrifying gamble at the core of the Apollo program. Before Apollo 11, engineers wrestled with lethal threats like the immense power of the Van Allen radiation belts and the unpredictable fury of Solar Particle Events (SPEs). Instead of solving the risk, NASA "engineered the narrative," minimizing the truth to secure political victory during the Cold War. We reveal the chilling August 1972 near-miss that proved the mission was a "cosmic Russian roulette" and explore the long-term biological cost recorded in the astronauts' bodies.
