Product Description
IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is an intimate epic, which vividly communicates the daring and the danger, the pride and the passion, of this extraordinary era in American history. Between 1968 and 1972, the world watched in awe each time an American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon. Only 12 American men walked upon its surface and they remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. Now for the first, and very possibly the last, time, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON combines archival material from the original NASA film footage, much of it never before seen, with interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and 13), Dave Scott (Apollo 9 and 15), John Young (Apollo 10 and 16), Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and 17), Mike Collins (Apollo 11), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14), Charlie Duke (Apollo 16) and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). The astronauts emerge as eloquent, witty, emotional and very human. |

Great introduction to the moon landings for the whole family by C. Tracy 5 Stars
October 13, 2009
My husband and I watched this and thought it was pretty good. When we showed it to our four year old, he thought it was great and it helped make so many abstract concepts real to him.

NASA Men on the Moon by A. Calder (Orlando, Florida) 5 Stars
September 15, 2009
I watched this documentary on a flight from Orlando to Houston, while NASA was debating whether we should ever go back. I really enjoyed it and will watch it again at home on my HD TV, but they should have made this in Widescreen, not just Full Frame.

In the Shadow of the Moon by Dave (Columbia, SC) 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
This is a great presentation with footage I had never seen before. A must for school libraries as well as families interested in space science.

Excellent Documentary by Wade (Oklahoma) 5 Stars
September 07, 2009
This movie is a must-have for NASA enthusiasts. The interviews with the astronauts and the support personnel give new insight into the enormity of President Kennedy's challenge and the incredible effort of many people to make the moon landing happen. The astronauts and support personnel are compelling, funny, and human. I would recommend this documentary to everyone. We own "In the Shadow of the Moon" and "When We Left Earth" which are two of the best investments we have ever made for our 10-year-old daughter. She watches one of these DVD's every day, and the whole family has watched all of them countless times!
