LIVE FROM THE MOON
retrata-nos como a televisão foi fundamental para vincular e salientar o grande esforço da nasa e dos Estados Unidos nesta aventura da terra a lua ...que como é obvio teve mais do que simples desejo de conquista ... de espirito de exploradores ( um paralelismo com os navegadores Portugueses ) e crescimento cientifico mas tambem o CONTEUDO POLITICO muito forte em plena guerra fria.....

No genero de ficção este é provavelmente o maior e melhor registo do programa Apollo
FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON
From the Earth to the Moon is a twelve-part HBO television miniseries (1998) co-produced by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Tom Hanks, and Michael Bostick detailing the landmark Apollo expeditions to the Moon during the 1960s and early 1970s. Largely based on Andrew Chaikin's book, A Man on the Moon, the series is known for its accurate telling of the story of Apollo and outstanding special effects.
atençao os primeiros 20 segundos parecem estar com um erro mas vale a pena ouvir e ver ate ao fim a introduçao .. a musica desta série é excelente do falecido micheal kamen

The episodes of the series are:
-
1
Can We Do This?
Depicts the early events of the space race from the perspective of NASA, including the decision to send men to the moon. Briefly covers the Mercury and Gemini programs along with reconstructions of the flight of Alan Shepard (Freedom 7), first American spacewalk (Gemini 4) and the Gemini 8 near-disaster.-
2
Apollo One
Concentrates attention on the Apollo 1 fire and subsequent investigation. The episode focuses on several key individuals, including Harrison Storms of North American Aviation, Joseph Shea of NASA, and Frank Borman of the astronaut office, all of whom were involved in the investigation.
-
3
We Have Cleared the Tower
Follows a fictional documentary team covering the preparation for the flight of Apollo 7. Although a well-received episode, some criticism occurred over the episode's ending with the launch of the mission, and failing to delve into the difficulties between Apollo 7's crew and Mission Control during the mission.
.
4
1968
Including much actual documentary footage of political events in the United States during the year 1968, this episode depicts the first manned lunar flight (Apollo 8). Much of the story is told from the point of view of Frank Borman's wife, Susan, and is shot in black and white, with the only exceptions being newsreel footage of news events, and the dramatized action in the spacecraft. Also depicts the Apollo 8 Genesis reading.
-
5
Spider
Focuses on the development of the Lunar Module and its first manned flights during Apollo 9 and Apollo 10, from the point of view of both the crew of Apollo 9 as well as the Grumman design team headed by Tom Kelly.
-
6
Mare Tranquilitatis
A dramatization of the first moon landing (Apollo 11), with flashback sequences to a television interview between the Apollo 11 crew and fictional broadcaster Emmett Seaborn. The title Mare Tranquilitatis refers to the actual landing site of the mission.
-
7
That's All There Is
The story of Lunar Module Pilot Alan Bean and his experiences on the Apollo 12 mission. The episode is a humorous depiction of the most tight-knit crew to serve on an Apollo mission.
-
8
We Interrupt This Program
Depicts the television media's point of view concerning the 'successful failure' of Apollo 13. The episode avoids comparison with the movie Apollo 13 by focusing entirely on Earthbound events, and adds a fictional subplot about the rivalry between a veteran TV news reporter who appears throughout the whole mini-series, and a young upstart.-
9
For Miles and Miles
Tells the story of the return to flight status of Alan Shepard and his mission to the moon on Apollo 14. The title refers to Alan Shepard's famous golf swing on the lunar surface.
.
10
Galileo Was Right
Focuses on the training the Apollo astronauts undertook to become geologists on the Moon's surface, specifically the Apollo 15 astronauts. The contributions of scientists Lee Silver, Harrison "Jack" Schmitt and Farouk El-Baz are highlighted. The title refers to Galileo Galilei and his theory that gravity would cause bodies of differing masses to fall at the same rate in a vacuum. This idea was demonstrated by Dave Scott in an experiment recreated for the episode.
.
11
The Original Wives Club
The story of Apollo from the point of view of the wives who had to endure the pressures of the media and the dangers of spaceflight at home, framed by the Apollo 16 mission.
-
12
Le Voyage dans la Lune
Intercuts the story of the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17, with French film maker Georges Méliès's vision of a trip to the moon from his early 20th century film also entitled Le Voyage dans la Lune.

WHEN WE LEFT EARTH

.




Part 1: Ordinary Supermen
The first episode of the series documents the start of the Space Race and the flights of the Mercury program, including John Glenn's historic flight Friendship 7 and the potentially fatal problem with the heatshield that occurred during the second orbit.
Part 2: Friends and Rivals
The second episode is centered on Project Gemini, the United States's second human spaceflight program. It features the first American extra-vehicular activity (spacewalk) by Gemini 4 astronaut Ed White.
Part 3: Landing the Eagle
The third episode details the beginning of the Apollo program, including the tense lunar descent of Apollo 11, and the first humans' footsteps on the lunar surface. Both Buzz Aldrin and the rarely interviewed Neil Armstrong appear in the episode, as well as capsule communicators Charlie Duke and Bruce McCandless II, and flight director Gene Kranz.
Part 4: The Explorers
The fourth episode features the five other successful moon landings - Apollos 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17, as well as the "successful failure" of Apollo 13. It also features the space station Skylab.

Part 5: The Shuttle
The penultimate episode focuses on the flights of the Space Shuttle, beginning with Space Shuttle Columbia's maiden voyage on April 12, 1981 (the twentieth anniversary of the first human spaceflight, Vostok 1). The STS-1 crew, commander John Young, and pilot Bob Crippen, are interviewed. Bruce McCandless's untethered spacewalk - the first in history - is shown digitally remastered in high-definition. The episode also documents the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred 73 seconds after lift-off on mission STS-51-L, on January 28, 1986, and the subsequent halt of the Space Shuttle program. The episode ends with the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope and the subsequent discovery of its defective mirror.

Part 6: A Home in Space
The series' final episode centers on the first refurbishment mission of the Hubble Space Telescope, and launch, assembly, and construction of the International Space Station. Shuttle astronauts Scott Altman and Michael Lopez-Alegria (the US record holder for number and duration of spacewalks), are featured in the episode. The episode also recalls the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster that occurred during re-entry, 16 minutes from landing at the Kennedy Space Center, on mission STS-107, on February 1, 2003.-
