Als am 16. Juli 1969 die gewaltige Saturn-V-Rakete mit der Apollo-11-Mission auf Cape Canaveral startete, war der Weltöffentlichkeit klar, dass damit John F. Kennedys Traum von der Eroberung des Mondes kurz vor seiner Vollendung stand. Doch niemand ahnte, wie es hinter den Kulissen dieses weltgeschichtlichen Ereignisses aussah ... Moonshot erzählt die Geschichte der drei Astronauten, die unter Lebensgefahr die Reise zum Mond angetreten haben, um als erste Menschen jemals den bis dahin unbekannten Planeten zu betreten.
Relive the breathtaking story of Apollo 11 and the first manned landing on the Moon as History takes viewers aboard
the rocket and on its eight-day round trip to outer space for a close-up look at one of the most stunning and courageous personal and technological achievements of man. Interlaced with original NASA footage transferred to high definition, Moonshot covers the crew`s earliest days at NASA to the moment when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin step on the Moon. From home life and families, to the argument over who would be the first to walk on the lunar surface, this is the remarkable story of one of the most chronicled events in history.
Using a script based on transcripts from the mission, contemporary documents, books and interviews, Moonshot incorporates news footage from around the world, including that of the iconic CBS anchor Walter Cronkite. Together, the drama and original material present a vivid yet intimate glimpse at one of the defining moments of modern history.
