Apollo is the behind-the-scenes tale of an epic achievement. Based on exhaustive analysis that included many special interviews, Apollo tells how America went from a standing begin to a getting in the moon at a speed that now appears impossible. It explains the unprecedented engineering challenges that needed to be overcome to make the mammoth Saturn V as well as the services to launch it. It takes you onto the gantries at Cape Canaveral and behind the consoles of Houston’s Objective Control since it relives the tragedy of the fire on Apollo 1, the initial descent to the lunar surface area, and the rescue of Apollo 13. A story of daring bordering on recklessness on the floor and life-and-death decisions manufactured in seconds through the flights, Apollo captures the crisis of humans departing Earth for the very first time.
