PIONEERS OF SPACEFLIGHT: DVD and Magazine

Written and presented by Sir Patrick Moore and with running time approximately 50 minutes in both colour and black and white, the DVD is entitled The Apollo Story. It features official NASA and Science Museum footage of the momentous Apollo 11 Moon landing. It was July 1969 and a little over eight years since the flights of Gagarin and Shepard, followed quickly by President Kennedy's challenge to put a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. It was only seven months since NASA made a bold decision to send Apollo 8 all the way to the Moon on the first manned flight of the massive Saturn V rocket. Now on the morning of 16th July, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins sit atop another Saturn V at Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The three-stage 363-foot rocket will use its 7.5 million pounds of thrust to propel them into space and into history. DVD film running time approximately 50 minutes. With large illustrated soft cover magazine enclosed.
