Watch NOVA - To the Moon Movie Online.
Movie Title: NOVA - To the Moon NOVA - To the Moon is available for streaming or downloading. |
Lest anyone think this is the same old story of the moon shot, “One Small Step For Mankind” and all that, Nova’s “To The Moon” is actually two fascinating hours of many of the stories that have been overlooked about man’s journey to the moon. Few people know about the man who advocated the method of travel, called Lunar-Orbit Rendezvous, or why he was unpopular even after his contribution led to man getting to the moon. Few people know why Kennedy vaguely said we should get a man to the moon “by the end of the decade.” Few people know the history of the Gemini program, lost between the Tom Wolfe heroics of Mercury and the Cold War glories of Apollo. Few people know about the later astronauts–in fact, how many people can name an astronaut after the Apollo 11 crew? (If you saw “Apollo 13″ this might not be as hard.) The clips of the last mission on the moon, with happy-go-lucky geologist Harrison Schmidt dancing around digging for moonrocks, is worth the price of the DVD alone. Highly recommended as an educational tool as well as a fun ride. Public schools would be wise to teach kids history in this lively way.
Nova should be commended for producing this excellent documentary. The important decisions, such as the choice of Lunar Orbit Rendezvous, are covered in a comprehensible yet comprehensive manner. The background of Apollo, especially in the now almost forgotten Gemini program, is covered, as are the evolution of the Saturn launchers, CSM, and LM.
A natural focus of the DVD are the Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 missions, which are covered in some detail, but other less memorable yet important (i.e., the ‘Genesis rock’, the Apollo 13 near disaster, etc.) areas are covered thoughtfully as well.
The editing and factual accuracy is absolutely superior, and the overall value is unbeatable. If you only own one documentary on the Apollo program, make it this one.
