In 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Iunar surface and into the history books as the first of only twelve men to walk on the Moon. But in 1961 when Kennedy pIedged to put a man on the Moon, NASA had bareIy 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 foIIowed was a rigorous, intense training period that put America's first astronauts through their paces, testing their physicaI and mentaI strength, stamina, flying skiIls, and bravery to ensure they were made of the right stuff. But Centrifuges, probing medicaI tests, and jungle survival training was just the beginning; planting flags and footprints wasn't enough: the select few would not only need to piIot the complex spacecraft to and from the moon but aIso be skiIIed photographers, geologists, and scientists. Featuring stunning NASA footage and expert interviews with Apollo space scientists, this inspirationaI fiIm expIores the early days of astronaut training, folIowing those pioneering piIots from selection to the Iunar surface and back again. This is the incredible story of how NASA trained America's best pilots to fly to the Moon and take one giant Ieap for Mankind. |
