Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOf all the astronauts who appeared in the film, only Buzz Aldrin demanded to be paid.
- GoofsThe 1202 alarm was not a programming error in the Apollo Guidance Computer, but rather a hardware design bug, already documented by Apollo 5 engineers. Since the 1202 alarm had occurred only once during testing, NASA decided to go with the radar hardware with known problems instead of using untested newer alternatives with unknown problems.
- Quotes
Charlie Duke: My father was born shortly after the Wright Brothers. He could barely believe that I went to the Moon. But my son, Tom, was five. And he didn't think it was any big deal.
- ConnectionsAlternate-language version of Universum: Im Schatten des Mondes (2009)
Featured review
Heavenly coverage
Powerfully put together NASA documentary highlights Apollo 11's historic run amongst other aged adventurers often stirring recollections.
Undoubtedly this is some of the finest public extraterrestrial footage ever married into film, and for that alone this noble salute to a bygone America and the heroes that inhabited it is a must see. Taking a trip to the moon with these brave astronauts has never been captured as intimately, helping viewers begin to feel what it must be like to be looking down from space like never before.
Combined with excellent musical scoring, David Sington's emotional remembrance and vicarious lift-offs belongs in many, many star watcher's collections.
