Den mislykkede ekspedition til månen i 1970 blev lige så berømt som den første månelanding året før. "Houston, vi har et problem", lød det fra rummet, da næsten alt gik galt. Mens over tusind mennesker arbejdede med problemerne i rumfartscentret, styrede de tre astronauter manuelt rumkapslen tilbage mod jorden næsten uden ilt, varme og brændstof. Tom Hanks har kommandoen i rummet, og Ed Harris dirigerer indsatsen på jorden.

Vi følger astronauten Neil A. Armstrong og den legendariske rummission, som muliggjorde at han var det første menneske der satte sine fødder på månen.

Sparks fly in all directions as marketing maven Kelly Jones, brought in to fix NASA's public image, wreaks havoc on Apollo 11 launch director Cole Davis' already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup, and the countdown truly begins.

Meget af materialet til filmen stammer fra en nyopdaget guldgrube: En masse filmoptagelser og over 11.000 timers ukatalogiserede lydindspilninger. Vi kommer på første række til NASA's mest berømte mission, som satte de første mennesker ned på månen og for altid gjorde Neil Armstrong og Buzz Aldrin til kendte navne. Set fra astronauternes perspektiv, teamet i Mission Control og de millioner af tilskuere på jorden oplever vi de dage og timer i 1969, da menneskeden tog et af de største skridt i vores historie.

En mission i rummet truer med at ende katastrofalt da ilt-tilførelsen til rumskibet svigter. Det står klart at der ikke er ilt nok til alle tre astronauter, og eneste løsning er at en af besætningsmedlemmerne begår selvmord. Men hvem?

I 1967 har CIA en mistanke om, at der er en russisk muldvarp i NASA, som saboterer Apollo-programmet. De sender derfor to unge agenter på en undercover-mission forklædt som dokumentarister, der skal dokumentere NASAs kapløb til månen. Men det de opdager, er langt mere chokerende end den sovjetiske spion. Noget tyder nemlig på, at regeringen skjuler en langt større hemmelighed om Apollo.

A testament to NASA's Apollo program of the 1960s and '70s. Composed of actual NASA footage of the missions and astronaut interviews, the documentary offers the viewpoint of the individuals who braved the remarkable journey to the moon and back.

Archival material from the original NASA film footage – much of it seen for the first time – plus interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell, Dave Scott, John Young, Gene Cernan, Mike Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt.

Dramatic, moving and deeply human, ARMSTRONG offers the definitive life story of Neil Armstrong: from his childhood in Ohio to his first steps on the Moon, and beyond.

National Geographic's riveting effort recounts all 12 crewed missions using only archival footage, photos and audio.

From 1957 —the year in which the Soviets put the Sputnik 1 satellite into orbit— to 1969 —when American astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the surface of the moon—, the beginnings of the space conquest were depicted in popular culture: cinema, television, comics and literature of the time contain numerous references to an imagined future.

NASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy.

This is the complete story of NASA's Moon Missions, from Apollo 1 to Apollo 17, told for the first time using 4K and HD original footage taken by astronauts from the most iconic space voyages in history.

The Apollo 8 astronauts recount their memories of capturing the first image of Earth from space in 1968 and evokes the awe of seeing Earth framed against the blackness of space.

On July 16, 1969, hundreds of thousands of spectators and an army of reporters gathered at Cape Kennedy to witness one of the great spectacles of the century: the launch of Apollo 11. Over the next few days, the world watched on with wonder and rapture as humankind prepared for its "one giant leap" onto the moon--and into history. Witness this incredible day, presented through stunning, remastered footage and interviews that takes you behind-the-scenes and inside the spacecraft, Mission Control, and the homes of the astronaut's families.

April 13th, 1970, 180,000 miles from Earth, a devastating malfunction leaves Apollo 13 leaking previous oxygen and its crew of three astronauts facing a life and death crisis. If Mission Control cannot find a way to bring Apollo 13 home, the astronauts will be stranded 200,000 miles from Earth in their dying ship. Now with limited power and supplies on board the spacecraft, the ground teams work around the clocking, engineering creative solutions to overcome carbon dioxide poisoning, dehydration and the freezing temperatures of deep space, to ensure the crew's survival. Using spectacular NASA footage, exclusive interviews with Apollo space scientists and stunning visual effects; this film explores the thirteen remarkable factors that brought the crew safely home, and the full story of the courage and ingenuity that cemented Apollo 13 as NASA's finest hour.
