In the inaugural episode of Wonder, hosts Heather D’Angelo and Kelly McManus Chauvin take a trip to NASA Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley to speak with Dennis Wingo, CEO and Founder of Skycorp Incorporated, about one of the greatest saves in space data history–high-resolution photographs of the entire moon that were nearly lost forever.
