Apogee
Nirob Ninja
Apogee tells the true stories of humanity's journey into space. Each episode, host Nirob takes one mission, machine, or moment — the night Sputnik crossed the sky, the first human heartbeat in orbit, the footprints on the Sea of Tranquility, the crippled ship limping home from the Moon, the little telescope that showed us the beginning of time — and brings it to life: the dream that started it, the people who staked everything on it, the terror and triumph of the attempt, and the way it changed how we see ourselves. From Cold War rivalry to robotic explorers on Mars, from the human computers who did the math to the reusable rockets of a new era, Apogee treats spaceflight as one of the greatest and most human of all adventures — equal parts engineering, courage, and wonder. Cinematic but accurate. Sweeping but intimate. Clean and suitable for all ages. A new story from the frontier every week.
