The Greenbelt News Review has reported on the progress of the U.S. space program, especially the contributions of Greenbelt’s own Goddard Space Flight Center dating from the exciting and celebrated moon landing half a century ago.
Goddard connected Greenbelt with the front lines of space discovery and News Review readers read all about it. On page one of the July 24, 1969, issue, the News Review reprinted a Washington Post article describing Goddard as a crucial communication hub. It read, “…everything Mission Control has heard from or about the astronauts since they left the earth Tuesday has gone through Goddard.”
