Product Description:
IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is an intimate epic, which vividly communicates the daring and the danger, the pride and the passion, of this extraordinary era in American history. Between 1968 and 1972, the world watched in awe each time an American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon. Only 12 American men walked upon its surface and they remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. Now for the first, and very possibly the last, time, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON combines archival material from the original NASA film footage, much of it never before seen, with interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and 13), Dave Scott (Apollo 9 and 15), John Young (Apollo 10 and 16), Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and 17), Mike Collins (Apollo 11), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14), Charlie Duke (Apollo 16) and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). The astronauts emerge as eloquent, witty, emotional and very human.

Rating: - Great gift for NASA fans
I enjoyed watching this myself, but my dad absolutely loved it. He was an engineer at NASA in the 60's and this brought back so many memories for him. He said that it was very accurate and that it gives so much "behind the scenes" information. He wanted our whole family to watch it because it helped us understand the work that he did while at NASA. If you have an older family member who worked for NASA or followed the space program closely, this will make a great gift!
Rating:  - Very Interesting, But Armstrong Was Missed
This documentary had some fantastic footage in it, and featured a very personal look at many of the astronauts who went to the moon. Overall, that is a very exclusive club: only about a dozen men ever did it in the history of the world and just eight or nine ever stepped foot on it. Most of them are still alive and they discuss their adventures, insights and personal feelings here.
One gets the feeling that the rest of us will never know exactly how beautiful the moon is except to take ... Read More
Rating: - Non Believers Beware
This is a wonderful documentary using the actual men that did it!
I defy any conspiracy theorist, who doesn't believe the lunar landings happened, to watch this, and still say that it didn't happen.
Great footage, music, interviews. A must have for a Space buff.
Rating: - A Great Movie
Very affecting. A meditation, via a great mix of cinematography and candid narration, on the nature of heroism. A challenge for more.
Rating: - Superb
In the Shadow of the Moon is a fantastic in depth view into the astronauts of the Apollo Program. Very candid interviews and some rare and unusual footage.
