On July 20, 2019 we will collectively celebrate the first lunar landing’s 50th anniversary.
A little over a month ago I went to see the documentary Apollo 11 in IMAX, and unlike “First Man” I left this film excited and exhilarated.
Apollo 11 covers the entire mission from 6-8 days prior to launch to the astronauts coming out of medical confinement a couple weeks after splashdown. All of this using original footage of the people and events that made up this historic first landing on the Moon.
You hear it and see it as it’s happened. The sights, the sounds, the gathered spectators, the astronauts on their mission, the journalists, the cigarette puffing, launch technicians in their white shirts, and in fact, the whole world is focused on what’s about to play out.
