Forty-seven years after humans first landed on the moon, much of the iconic infrastructure that helped us to get there has been demolished, re-purposed, or left to the elements.

In this episode, my guest, Roland Miller, shares experiences accumulated over twenty-five years of photographically documenting and interpreting the United States space program. His book of photography, Abandoned in Place: Preserving America’s Space History, released last February, records the remains of early space launch and research facilities across the country including the sites that launched the Gemini, Mercury, and Apollo missions.
