Men on the moon
Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the moon and 12 American men walked on its surface, the first (and last) human beings to ever leave this planet and land on another celestial body. This incredible story is told in a remarkable documentary “In The Shadow Of The Moon” which was released last year but I’ve only seen this week [my review here].
I was 21 when I watched live television coverage of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. When the last such moon walk took place in 1972, I never imagined that the following 36 years would see the surface of the moon untouched by man. This documentary captures a very special time.
