Sinopse
Has man really been to the moon? It’s been 50 years, and the debate rages on. For the firs time, a film compiles in a single piece of work, all the best evidence in favor of the moon landings and the evidence contrary to them. For the first time we can also analyze the Apollo pictures in detail, with the aid of some among the top photographers in the world. What was the Apollo project really? The biggest achievement in the history of mankind, or the biggest fakery of all times, watched on live television by more than half a billion people?
Archival material from the original NASA film footage – much of it seen for the first time – plus interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell, Dave Scott, John Young, Gene Cernan, Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt.
Em 1969 a NASA precisava de uma poderosa antena parabólica que estivesse, literalmente, do outro lado do mundo para manter contato ininterrupto com a nave Apolo. Acabaram fazendo um acordo com a equipe que cuidava da grande antena do Observatório de Parkes, Austrália. A parabólica, carinhosamente apelidada de "O Prato", fica no meio de um pasto de ovelhas e foi responsável pela captação e retransmissão das imagens da primeira caminhada do homem na lua. Baseado em uma história real, O Prato tem um olhar inteligente, espirituoso e cômico das atitudes culturais diferentes entre a Austrália e os EUA, enquanto revisita um dos maiores eventos na história. Relembra do orgulho da cidade, o fornecimento de energia elétrica instável, o funcionário da NASA exasperado, e até mesmo um romance, coisas que desempenharam um papel com muitas tensões no evento, com o mundo dependendo deles para as imagens da primeira caminhada da lua.
Desperate to land a man on the moon before Russia does, NASA hastily preps a would-be spaceman for a mission that would leave him alone in a lunar shelter for a year.

A fantástica fábula sobre a vida na Lua está vividamente ilustrada na tela pelo mestre de efeitos especiais Ray Harryhausen neste surpreendente épico de ficção científica com representação de criaturas extraterrestres. O filme começa quando um grupo de astronautas das Nações Unidas está planejando uma nova missão à Lua. Os astronautas estão um tanto confusos e, sobretudo, intrigados com a experiência de um homem (Edward Judd). Este homem diz que quando sua noiva, um cientista e ele fizeram esta viagem à Lua há 65 anos, foram atacados pelos 'Selenitas', grotescas formigas com forma humana que vivem em imensas cavernas de cristal. Agora, cabe a essa equipe das Nações Unidas tentar esta alunissagem, uma missão que poderia ser mais aterrorizante do que se havia pensado.

In 1965, the space station JSS-3 is destroyed by a fleet of UFOs, which then begin a global siege on Earth, using rays to manipulate gravity and control the minds of men. In response, a global council meeting is held to determine the source of the attacks and prepare a rocket ship armada for a counter-attack, a true battle in outer space. . . The film is a sequel of sorts to Toho's THE MYSTERIANS in the reprise of the Etsuko Shiraishi character of that film as its heroine. It was edited to 74 minutes for its American release.
"Destination Moon" is the third in the trio of documentaries about the beginnings of the space age. It documents JPL's ambitious plan to beat the Soviet Union in robotic space exploration by reaching not only for the moon, but also the inner planets. But as the hour-long episode documents, JPL would be humbled by a series of failures in attempting to merely hit the moon, let alone visit the other planets. "We didn't know what we were doing," one veteran JPL engineer confides, "and there was no one around to tell us." This film shows how JPL did learn to go to the moon and to the planet Venus, giving the United States its first "First in Space."
In front of television crews and thousands of spectators, Spaceship-1—commanded by Commodore Hardt, inventor of the powerful rocket fuel "Neotan-X"—blasts off on the first flight to the Moon.
