História
James "Jim" Arthur Lovell, Jr., (born March 25, 1928) is a former NASA astronaut and a retired captain in the United States Navy, most famous as the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which suffered a critical failure en route to the Moon but was brought back safely to Earth by the efforts of the crew and mission control. Lovell was also the command module pilot of Apollo 8, the first Apollo mission to enter lunar orbit. Lovell is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon, the first of only three people to fly to the Moon twice, and the only one to have flown there twice without making a landing. Lovell was also the first person to fly in space four times.

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.
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.

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 Apollo 8 astronauts recount their memories of capturing the first image of Earth from space in 1968 and evokes the awe of seeing Earth framed against the blackness of space.

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.

In 1962, spurred by the Cold War, President John F. Kennedy famously made the bold proclamation that NASA would send astronauts to the moon by the end of the decade, not because it was easy, but because it was a challenge. The Space Race inspired a generation to pursue careers in science and technology, but as the balance of world power shifted, interest in space exploration declined. "Fight for Space" serves as an urgent call to re-awaken our sense of wonder and discovery.

Apollo 13: To the Edge and Back tells the gripping, true story of the catastrophic flight of the Apollo 13 and the heroic struggle to bring the astronauts back alive. With first-hand accounts from the pilots, their families, and the people of mission control, it documents a thrilling struggle against time and all odds and serves as a reminder that, in the words of James Lovell, "We do not realize what we have on Earth until we leave it."
Narrator - Apollo 8, Apollo 13 (voice)
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.
