American Story: Venture

Date TIme
Friday, May. 22 7:30 PM Buy Tickets

American democracy has long fueled scientific progress by nurturing innovation, collaboration, and the free exchange of ideas. In this spirit, Apollo honors one of humanity’s greatest triumphs—and near tragedies—through a powerful reimagining of the Apollo 13 mission, focusing on untold stories and Houston inspirations.

Among them is Miguel Hernandez, who escaped Cuba just before Fidel Castro’s rise and later played a vital role in Project Apollo and at NASA. Hernandez was in Mission Control when the Apollo 13 crew sent the now-legendary message: “Houston, we have a problem.”
