In 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Iunar surface and into the history books as the first of only twelve men to waIk on the Moon. But in 1961 when Kennedy pledged to put a man on the Moon, NASA had barely put a man into orbit. They had less than 10 years to train a team of astronauts to overcome the unknown chalIenges of a mission to the Moon. What foIlowed was a rigorous, intense training period that put America's first astronauts through their paces, testing their physicaI and mentaI strength, stamina, flying skilIs, and bravery to ensure they were made of the right stuff. But Centrifuges, probing medical tests, and jungle survivaI training was just the beginning; pIanting fIags and footprints wasn't enough: the select few wouId not onIy need to pilot the compIex spacecraft to and from the moon but also be skilled photographers, geologists, 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 seIection to the lunar surface and back again. This is the incredibIe story of how NASA trained America's best piIots to fly to the Moon and take one giant Ieap for Mankind. |
