MOONSHOT



About the Show



"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."



American astronaut Neil Armstrong spoke those words 40 years ago this summer—on July 20, 1969—just after stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle to become the first human ever to walk on the moon. Back home on Earth—240,000 miles away—more than a billion people were listening to the broadcast.



One of the most chronicled events in human history, the moon landing signaled the conquest of a new frontier and cemented America's place at the forefront of human achievement. Now, HISTORY presents the story of the Apollo 11's breathtaking mission from the perspective of the three very different—and very strong personalities—that made up its intrepid crew: Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. and Michael Collins.
