Witness to history

ONU professor visited Cape Kennedy and saw Apollo 11 before it flew to the moon
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, July 28, 2019

On July 20, 1969, Wapakoneta native Neil Armstrong walked on the moon after riding Apollo 11 all the way into history. So when a young Ohioan named Jed Marquart  – today a member of the ONU faculty –toured NASA’s Cape Kennedy mere days before the most famous space launch of all time, it’s easy to see why it made a lasting impact.

By Jed Marquart
FROM THE ONU WEBSITE - I turned 11 years old in May 1969. Growing up on a farm outside of Bluffton, like most kids who grew up during that time period, I was enthralled with the space race. I played with toy rockets and model airplanes, and I dreamed of being an astronaut and working for NASA.
