Confessions from Space: Apollo (2019)

Em 1970, a NASA envia à Lua um novo grupo de astronautas na missão Apollo 13. Porém, já no espaço, um tanque de oxigênio explode. Com o acidente, os astronautas Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert e Fred Haise não conseguem seguir sua rota, correndo o risco de ficar sem oxigênio e energia suficientes para voltarem à Terra. Agora, a equipe a bordo e a equipe em terra firme correm contra o tempo para consertar a nave.

A vida do astronauta norte-americano Neil Armstrong e sua jornada para se tornar o primeiro homem a andar na Lua. Os sacrifícios e custos de Neil e toda uma nação durante uma das mais perigosas missões na história das viagens espaciais.

Com o plano de desembarcar dois astronautas na superfície lunar e regressar para a Terra em segurança, a missão Apollo 11 é até hoje uma grande referência quando se trata de momentos importantes na humanidade. Durante décadas, trechos dos bastidores permaneceram guardados e apenas recentemente foram liberados para visualização do público no geral.

O filme começa com o discurso do Presidente Kennedy, em 12/09/1962 na Universidade de Rice, anunciando a meta da conquista da Lua. O restante do filme são filmagens da Nasa com as vozes dos astronautas da Missão Apollo, que nos leva numa viagem à Lua, desde aculturação dos trajes espaciais até a alunissagem. Filmagens realizadas pelos cientistas e engenheiros de Houston, são mescladas com as seqüências realizadas na órbita da Terra, vendo-se a terra recuar de dentro da cápsula espacial, circundar a Lua, apreciando-se a sua superfície de perto, o desembarque, e as cenas dos astronautas na superfície lunar. Com uma trilha sonora fantástica, o diretor nos leva a comprovar a teoria de Galileu, e refletir sobre esta maravilhosa experiência.

Em 1967, durante a guerra fria, quatro agentes da CIA se dirfançam de cineastas com a tarefa de se infiltrar na NASA e descobrir espiões. Fingindo ter a intenção de documentar a viagem da Terra à Lua, o que eles descobrem leva a uma das maiores conspirações na história dos Estados Unidos.

A história de vida de Neil Armstrong, passando por sua infância em Ohio, sua experiência de quase morte como piloto na Coréia, a missão Apollo 11 que o levou a pisar na lua, até sua relação com a fama que o seguiu depois. Com imagens nunca vistas do arquivo familiar de Armstrong, o documentário constrói um panorama emotivo da vida e carreira do primeiro homem a pisar na Lua.

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.

In December of 1968, three astronauts traveled to the Moon. This is the story of their lives and the amazing story of how they became the first human beings to travel beyond the confines of planet earth and reach the Moon. First to the Moon tells the amazing story of the Apollo 8 mission and the three men that crewed it. Through restored archival films from NASA, The National Archives, and the Astronaut’s own personal collections, this documentary takes you through time from the upbringing of each crew member and onward to present day.

The making of the motion picture "Apollo 13", as well as the story of the space mission it details. Featuring interviews with director Ron Howard, astronaut Jim Lovell, his wife Marilyn Lovell, producer Brian Grazer, executive producer Todd Hallowell, visual effects supervisor Robert Legato, lead digital compositor Mark Forker, astronauts Fred Haise and Dave Scott, Apollo 13 flight director Gerald Griffin, command module systems controller Sy Lieberglot, Apollo 13 flight dynamics officer Jerry Bostick, mission control director Gene Krantz, Tom Kelly of Grumman, NASA mission operations director Christopher Kraft, daughters Susan Lovell Williams and Margaret Haise, command systems module controller John Aaron, and actors Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise, Kathleen Quinlan, and Ed Harris.

This is the complete story of NASA's Moon Missions, from Apollo 1 to Apollo 17, told for the first time using 4K and HD original footage taken by astronauts from the most iconic space voyages in history.

Heroes of the Apollo Missions, Buzz Aldrin, Mike Collins , Charlie Duke and more come together to share insights, experiences, and stories of the greatest adventure mankind has ever undertaken.

"Houston, we've had a problem." Apollo 13 has become known as “a successful failure” that saw a safe return of the crew in spite of a catastrophic explosion in the middle of their lunar journey. This 30-minute documentary features interviews with Apollo 13 Astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise, as well as Flight Directors Gene Kranz and Glynn Lunney, with engineer Hank Rotter. Parts of their interviews take place in the restored Apollo mission control room. This documentary also features original NASA footage and newly synchronized audio from Mission Control. Thanks to Stephen Slater and Ben Feist/Apollo in Real-Time (apolloinrealtime.org/13) for providing additional footage and audio.

A romantic comedy set against the backdrop of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon launch.

Who were the men and women of Project Apollo? Where are they today? What do they think of the extraordinary effort they helped make possible? Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing in 2019, When We Were Apollo is an intimate and personal look at the Apollo Space Program through the lives and experiences of some of its most inspiring behind-the-scenes figures: engineers, technicians, builders and contractors who spent the better part of a decade working to get us to the moon and back.

April 13th, 1970, 180,000 miles from Earth, a devastating malfunction leaves Apollo 13 leaking previous oxygen and its crew of three astronauts facing a life and death crisis. If Mission Control cannot find a way to bring Apollo 13 home, the astronauts will be stranded 200,000 miles from Earth in their dying ship. Now with limited power and supplies on board the spacecraft, the ground teams work around the clocking, engineering creative solutions to overcome carbon dioxide poisoning, dehydration and the freezing temperatures of deep space, to ensure the crew's survival. Using spectacular NASA footage, exclusive interviews with Apollo space scientists and stunning visual effects; this film explores the thirteen remarkable factors that brought the crew safely home, and the full story of the courage and ingenuity that cemented Apollo 13 as NASA's finest hour.

This extraordinary film features NASA film footage enhanced by AI-based software and other image processing. The clarity of the images gives viewers a whole new perspective on what it was like to step onto lunar soil and ramble about the alien landscapes. The film shows how teams of astronauts collected evidence that has revolutionized our understanding of the origin of both Earth and the moon.

On July 16, 1969, hundreds of thousands of spectators and an army of reporters gathered at Cape Kennedy to witness one of the great spectacles of the century: the launch of Apollo 11. Over the next few days, the world watched on with wonder and rapture as humankind prepared for its "one giant leap" onto the moon--and into history. Witness this incredible day, presented through stunning, remastered footage and interviews that takes you behind-the-scenes and inside the spacecraft, Mission Control, and the homes of the astronaut's families.

The fact that Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon on July 19, 1969, was also the success of Wernher von Braun and a team of more than 100 NASA technicians and engineers from Germany. But the success story is shrouded in dark shadows: Many of the Germans had a Nazi past and were part of the development of the infamous V2 rocket. Some 20,000 forced laborers lost their lives during the production under the inhumane working conditions at several Nazi underground weapons factories. In a secret operation to secure German rocket technology, the Americans brought the scientists to the USA in 1945. Only decades later were classified documents released, detailing the involvement of German NASA employees with the Third Reich.

NASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy.

The remarkable story of the determination and courage of a generation. A tribute to three brave astronauts and the thousands of men and women behind them during the final days of NASA's Apollo program.
