Why watch this film?
At the heart of the Apollo program was the special team in Mission Control who put a man on the moon and helped create the future.
"The trip to the Moon was one of the most extraordinary feats of mankind, breaking down the barriers of Earth and taking us into space. This documentary retells this experience, but revealing the stories of those men and women who were instrumental to this feat, but didn't get the same kind of spotlight as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin - especially those scientists who stayed in the control room. The film also includes interesting archive footage and special effects to simulate what was done in the past, in addition to all the efforts to save the crew of Apollo 13. For fans of NASA and astronauts alike, it's a great experience."
