Share the history of Morehead with your little ones

Get your very own copy of Tony Jenzano, Astronaut Trainer: The Man who Made the Stars Shine.

Perfect for grades 2 through 5, this biography of astronaut trainer Tony Jenzano shows how this son of immigrants provided life-saving training for astronauts in the United States space program. Jenzano is one of the many lesser-known people who helped America’s first space explorers get to the moon safely.

From 1960 to 1975, Jenzano oversaw celestial navigation training for 62 NASA astronauts—including Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Jim Lovell—at Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill, NC.
