Welcome to the very first episode of The Rocket Kid Chronicles.
What was it like to grow up when the Space Race filled the evening news, rocket launches stopped classrooms, and the future seemed just over the horizon? In this opening story, David A. Stafford recalls the optimism, humor, and wonder of coming of age in Southern California during the 1960s, when astronauts were heroes, television promised tomorrow, and every child believed the Moon was only the beginning.
If you remember the Mercury and Gemini missions, metal lunchboxes, Schwinn bicycles, transistor radios, or simply a time when the future felt limitless, this journey is for you.
New episodes of The Rocket Kid Chronicles are released regularly. Follow the podcast so you never miss a story from the Space Age.
