Iowa Files: One Small Step for Iowa, One Giant Leap for America

Iowa isn’t just a flyover state for NASA, but it also provided important materials and technology for the Apollo lunar program. In fact, without Iowa, no one may have seen Neil Armstrong’s first steps. Learn about Iowa’s role in the early NASA days, and how it continues today from David Dubczak. You usually see David behind the camera at Iowa Files. He’s also a lifelong space enthusiast who loves digging into the technical details of space history. As a graduate student, he worked at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
