Fifty years ago, the Apollo 10 mission took place—the test run before the first landing on the moon. NASA chose to name the command and lunar modules after characters from Peanuts. The landing module “Snoopy” was piloted within 50,000 feet of the lunar surface while the command module “Charlie Brown” orbited the moon. Today, To the Moon, Snoopy celebrates the Peanuts characters roles in this monumental event.
