As the embarrassed US powers that be are trumped (excuse the use of that word) by the Russians putting the first man into space, the Cold War shaking begins. President Kennedy promises the American people that by the end of the decade a man would walk on the moon. Damned if they didn't do it. This is a nice little piece, showing what remarkable figures accomplished this task, at the risks of their lives in some cases. We see Alan Shepherd make his first sojourn into space, John Glenn, and eventually the complex figure, Neil Armstrong and his fellows. We also see that death sometimes follows these people. Nicely presented. We have become so blaze about these pioneers.
