In July 1969, NASA’s decade-long dream of putting a man on the moon was about to become a reality. On July 16th, the Apollo 11 mission lifted off from Kennedy Space Center with Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins aboard. After a four-day journey, they would make history by becoming the first humans to set foot on another world.
When President John F. Kennedy made his famous 1961 speech pledging to put a man on the moon within 10 years, there was little understanding of how it could be accomplished. But an incredible effort from the brilliant minds at NASA coupled with political support made it happen.
The Apollo 11 mission marked a giant leap forward for humanity and its exploration of space. To this day, it remains one of the most significant achievements in human history – and now you can relive every moment thanks to the documentary ‘Apollo 11’ which captures remarkable footage that has never before been seen by the public eye. With over eleven thousand hours of audio recordings and never before seen 70mm film footage taken during the mission, this is an immersive and inspiring experience that will take you right back to that fateful day in 1969 when Armstrong uttered those iconic words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Be sure to watch ‘Apollo 11’ to share in this remarkable moment in time – an epic adventure decades in the making!
