A sweeping recount of the Apollo program from Kennedy's moon goal to Apollo 11. It traces NASA's rise, the Apollo 1 tragedy, Soviet competition, and the triumphant July 20 1969 moon landing by Armstrong and Aldrin aboard Eagle.
Buzz Aldrin frames Kennedy era moon mission as a starter's gun for a new era of space exploration. He likens the pledge to a cue for future human flights to Mars and notes the nation is not yet ready but at the starting line. After the ceremony, astronauts rode a 20 mile motorcade to Cocoa Beach.
About 10,000 spectators lined the route to cheer Apollo 11 spacemen Armstrong Aldrin and Collins during a luncheon in their honor. The stop followed visits to Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville where Saturn 5 was designed and Apollo 12’s Alan Bean urged space cooperation over a renewed race. Bean, who walked on the moon on November 19, 1969, cautioned that Americans may grow complacent until the Soviets take a moon step, preferring collaboration for Earth’s benefit.
