The 40th anniversary edition includes the history of NASA, an introduction to the people who made the Mercury and Apollo programs possible, an inside look at the Apollo mission and an additional look at the lunar landing narrated by Burgess Meredith, and the welcome and celebration for the astronauts at the Houston Astrodome."@en
  • "This program consists of highlights of the nine day Apollo 11 mission from lift-off to splash down. Also includes intriguing reminiscences by Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstsrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins."@en
  • "Commemorates 40 years of space exploration by America's NASA astronauts, from the first Mercury missions that successfully launched John Glenn into orbit, to the moon landing, Skylab, the shuttle and beyond. An opportunity to relive some of man's greatest achievements. From the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 to the first launch of the shuttle Colombia in 1981."@en
  • ""Man on the moon," a collection of films from CBS and NASA, highlights the nine-day Apollo 11 mission and features an overview of the manned space program, both before and after Neil Armstrong's historic walk on the moon. In "Houston, we have a problem," the drama of the Apollo 13 mission follows what had begun as a routine flight that abruptly changed when an explosion aboard the command module rocked the ship nearly 200,000 miles from the earth. The heroic efforts of the team at Mission Control, as well as those of astronauts Jim Lovell, John Swigert and Fred Haise, are captured in a brilliant demonstration of human capability under almost unbearable stress. "Space shuttle" features the launch and maiden voyage of the orbiter Columbia on April 12, 1981, with astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen aboard. The voyage heralded a new era in space exploration. Although the mission was a complete success, descriptions of the solid fuel rockets used to propel the shuttle into orbit and the heat dissipating tiles that protect the orbiter upon re-entry add an eerie reminder of what would happen in light of subsequent system failures."@en
  • "Includes original news footage of the coverage of the historic first landing on the moon, and new interviews with Walter Cronkite as he looks back on the event."@en
  • "Reflects on the mission of the Apollo 11. Comprised of newscasts which allow the viewer to experience and relive man's most spectacular achievement through the eyes of Walter Cronkite, Wally Schirra and others."@en
