In this episode of The ATO Show we explore the fascinating history of ATO brothers who have made significant contributions as explorers. We hear stories from the archives about alumni who have achieved greatness on land, in the air, and in space. The episode highlights Dr. Lewis Sims Jr., who flew an ATO flag over Antarctica during a 1940 expedition, inspired by early aviation pioneer and fellow ATO member Ben Eielson. Eielson's achievements in polar aviation are discussed, including his record-setting transpolar flights. The conversation then turns to five ATO brothers who became NASA astronauts. Notable figures like Charles Duke, the 10th man to walk on the moon, and David Wolf, who spent significant time on the International Space Station, are celebrated for their contributions to space exploration.
