Storyline
Fearful that the Russians would continue their lead in the space race and be the first to put a man on the moon, NASA felt an enormous pressure to push the Apollo Program forward as quickly as possible, though they knew that pushing too hard could lead to the ultimate disaster. This film recreates the tensions that were felt not only by the three astronauts, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, but also by their families and by the teams of technicians training to deal with anything that could go wrong. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>

When Armstrong and Aldrin descend the ladder to the moon's surface, their steps make a pinging sound on the rungs. No sound can be carried on the moon due to it's lack of air. See more »Soundtracks

I watched this movie on the Family Channel way back when it aired in November of 1996. I recorded it by way of VHS, and still pull it out and watch it every once in awhile. Anything having to do with the Apollo program still fascinates me...I was 11 when the moon landing occurred. From everything I know about the Apollo 11 landing, pretty much everything in the movie is mostly factually correct, such as the tension that existed between Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. I've searched online to see if I can find the movie on DVD, but as far as I've been able to determine, it's never been put out on either VHS or DVD. Does anyone out there know if a copy of this movie can be obtained? I don't know why this one was not put on DVD, if it wasn't. Any info on this would be appreciated!
