Storyline

Moon Beat re-examines the epic 1969 flight of Apollo XI, on it's 40th anniversary, with a behind-the-scenes look from top NASA officials and many leading journalists who covered the first moon landing and the U.S. Space program. The Summer of '69 was an historic time, a turbulent time, and a time before cell phones, the Internet or 24-hour cable news. It was a time when newspapers and magazines flourished - alongside just three major U.S television networks. Around the world, the BBC covered the historic flight for an even larger European audience, and reporters from all corners of the globe were focused on just one story - the flight of Apollo XI and mankind's Journey to the Moon.
