Charlie Duke

Recently discovered footage reveals the secret history of NASA's first landing on the moon, and using this brand-new evidence, former astronauts and experts challenge everything known about the Apollo missions.

A collection of excerpted on-screen interviews with fifteen of the Apollo astronauts.

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.

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.

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.

When Rob Lewis saw an image of a family portrait lying on the surface of the moon, he realized there was a story behind the photograph smiling down on us still. The family is that of astronaut Charlie “Gee Whiz” Duke who left the photo there April 24, 1972 when he became the tenth and, at 36, the youngest man to walk on the moon. LUNAR TRIBUTE is the story of that photo and Charlie’s journey to the moon and back.

At the heart of the Apollo program was the special team in Mission Control who put a man on the moon and helped create the future.

Um grupo de inteligentes adolescentes é recrutado para um acampamento de verão da Nasa, onde deverão competir com as suas maiores habilidades para o desafio final. Mas, quando uma nave com três astronautas fica presa no espaço, esses jovens prodígios deverão embarcar em uma inesperada missão de resgate.

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.

NASA mounts a rescue operation after an explosion tears through the hull of the Apollo 13 spacecraft while it is in flight to the moon.

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.
