Moon Race - The History of the Apollo, Volume 1: The Eagle Has Landed
* The Time of Apollo (Project Apollo overview)
* Apollo 4 (unmanned launch of the gigantic Saturn V rocket)
* Apollo 5 (unmanned launch into earth orbit and flight test of the lunar module)
* Apollo 8: Go for TLI (first manned lunar orbit)
* Apollo 9: Three to Make Ready (first manned test flight of the lunar module)
* Apollo 10: Green Light for Lunar Landing (lunar orbit and test of the operations required for lunar landing)
* Apollo 11: The Eagle Has Landed (first manned lunar landing and exploration)
This set provides a splendid overview of the early Project Apollo missions. One glaring omission is the first manned Apollo space flight, Apollo 7. I can't imagine why it was left out. There were also other unmanned test flights: Apollo 2 and 3 tested the Saturn IB rocket and Apollo 6 (like Apollo 4) tested the Saturn V. But most of all, any history of the Apollo era is incomplete without discussion of the tragic loss of the Apollo 1 crew in a launch pad fire, and the effect that accident had on the space program.
So there is room for improvement here, but this collection of public domain video preserves the view NASA had of its work at the time. This view of history-in-the-making can often be more revealing than a slickly-produced retrospective.
Summary of Moon Race - The History of the Apollo, Vol. 1: The Eagle Has Landed - Apollo4-Apollo11
? In Volume 1 we cover the first phase of the Apollo program, from the early unmanned tests of Apollo 4 to the successful lunar orbit of Apollo 8 and the first manned landing on the moon by Apollo 11, all in stunningly detailed cinematography.? Chapter 1: Time of Apollo. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy set a goal: landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth. This chapter examines how that task was achieved.
? Chapter 2: Apollo 4--The First Test. Covers the November 9, 1967 launch of the mighty Apollo/Saturn V unmanned space vehicle, which reached an altitude of 11,232 miles.
? Chapter 3: Apollo 5. Follows the successful testing of the Lunar Module, the spacecraft in which man will make his first landing on the moon. Lunar Module 1--not designed to return to Earth--tumbles on through space until destroyed when entering the atmosphere of the Earth.
? Chapter 4: Apollo 8 - Go for TLI. This voyage, manned by astronauts Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, and William A. Anders, was man's first trip to another celestial body, and included an orbit around the Moon on Christmas day.
? Chapter 5: Apollo 9--Three to Make Ready. On this mission, astronauts James A. McDivit, David R. Scott, and Russell L. Schweickart focus on testing the Lunar Module, the spacecraft that will land men on the Moon.
? Chapter 6: Apollo 10--Green Light for Lunar Landing. Features highlights of the second lunar orbital mission by astronauts Stafford, Cernan, and Young, and includes docking and descent of the Lunar Module to within ten miles of the lunar surface.
? Chapter 7: Apollo 11--The Eagle Has Landed. Depicts highlights of the historic first landing on the moon in July 1969, from launch through the post-recovery activities of astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins.
? Approx running time: 2 hours 30 minutes.
