In this Deep Dive episode, our hosts discuss...

📜 On this day in 1969 we revisit NASA's Apollo 12 launch from Kennedy Space Center — the second successful human Moon landing mission carrying Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean — and reflect on how that achievement sustained momentum after Apollo 11, influenced public morale during the Cold War, and echoed through art and culture.
🎂 Today’s birthday spotlight covers Jawaharlal Nehru (born 1889). We center on Nehru’s role as India’s first Prime Minister, his efforts to build institutions—universities, research bodies—and his emphasis on scientific temper, secular democracy, and industrialization as pillars of nation-building.
💡 Fact of the day: the KGB was headquartered at No. 2 Felix Dzerzhinsky Square, Moscow — a specific address that signals centralized power, historical weight, and how a concrete urban location can anchor political and cultural memory.
