On the afternoon of July 20, 1969, 10-year-old Yvonne Cagle was climbing an old oak tree beside her house. She remembers her dad shouting her name, calling her inside to watch the TV. Flickering in black and white on the screen, she saw men in clunky suits more than two hundred thousand miles away step out onto a dusty surface: Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin making history as the first humans to walk on the Moon.
“At that moment, my dreams took wings,” she told the crowd of sports industry execs, entrepreneurs, and investors at Horizon Summit on Friday.
