Chris continues his chat with 'Shoot For The Moon' author Professor Richard Wiseman on how the Apollo 11 mission was nearly aborted & the lessons learned from vital preparation.

On 20th July 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon - one of mankind鈥檚 greatest achievements.

Throughout 6 Music In Space Week, author Richard Wiseman joins Chris Hawkins to share his pioneering study of the mindset that took humanity to the Moon and demonstrates ways in which the same mindset is available to us all.

It was the 鈥楢pollo Mindset鈥� that led to the first person walking on the Moon, & Richard feels its available to us all. From preparation to self belief and improvisation to courage, Professor Wiseman explains how the Moon landing in 1969 can harness that pioneering spirit in your own life.

Plus, Chris Smith, Festival Director of WOMAD, gives us the lowdown to this year's festival.

There's also all the usual Thursday business of The Plink Test, a listener's Lost Love and our 5 Before 6 DJ's penultimate selection.
