On July 20, 1969, nearly a decade of efforts by thousands of people working for NASA and private contractors culminated in the the United States landing astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon. This historic achievement was followed by five more pairs of astronauts walking on the Moon, the last in December of 1972.
Why did we go to the Moon? How did we go to the Moon? Why have we not been back since that final mission? This immersive, historical documentary highlights the achievements of the Apollo program. The movie ends with a call to the future engineers, technicians, astronauts, and other STEM careers that "SPACE NEEDS YOU!"
After the show, a live show presenter takes you on a tour of the current night sky, including tips for locating the planets, how to find constellations, and ancient myths about the stars.
No public show times currently scheduled.
