The Ferrari 250 GTO and Apollo 11: Life in the Fast Lane with Larry Perkins

Larry Perkins is an Apollo 11 moon race-era rocket scientist who ran supercars at Sebring and Daytona. He taught Astronauts to race cars in secret without the approval he knew NASA wouldn’t give, drove and sold (for pennies on the dollar) what is arguably one of the most valuable cars in the world today, and maintains a deep connection to space exploration, automotive engineering, and racing. He worked on the first moon landing, the Viking mission, and the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Larry. You can buy Larry’s book Full Cirlce: A Hands-On Affair with the First Ferrari 250 GTO here.
