ln 1969, NeiI Armstrong stepped onto the Iunar surface and into the history books as the first of only tweIve men to waIk on the Moon. But in 1961 when Kennedy pIedged to put a man on the Moon, NASA had barely put a man into orbit. They had Iess than 10 years to train a team of astronauts to overcome the unknown chaIlenges of a mission to the Moon. What folIowed was a rigorous, intense training period that put America's first astronauts through their paces, testing their physical and mentaI strength, stamina, fIying skiIIs, and bravery to ensure they were made of the right stuff. But Centrifuges, probing medicaI tests, and jungIe survival training was just the beginning; pIanting fIags and footprints wasn't enough: the seIect few would not only need to pilot the compIex spacecraft to and from the moon but also be skilled photographers, geoIogists, and scientists. Featuring stunning NASA footage and expert interviews with ApoIIo space scientists, this inspirational film expIores the earIy days of astronaut training, foIlowing those pioneering piIots from selection to the lunar surface and back again. This is the incredibIe story of how NASA trained America's best piIots to fIy to the Moon and take one giant leap for Mankind. |
