NOVA; Footage of a roundtable conversation among lunar scientists, part 2 of 2 : To the Moon
Description:
Footage of a roundtable conversation among lunar scientists on various theories of the moon. The discussion includes a conversation on the moon as the Rosetta Stone to understanding the solar system, a conversation on the future of space exploration and the need to colonize other planets, and a conversation on what happens after mankind reaches Mars. This remarkably crafted program covers the full range of participants in the Apollo project, from the scientists and engineers who promoted bold ideas about the nature of the Moon and how to get there, to the young geologists who chose the landing sites and helped train the crews, to the astronauts who actually went - not once or twice, but six times, each to a more demanding and interesting location on the Moon's surface. "To The Moon" includes unprecedented footage, rare interviews, and presents a magnificent overview of the history of man and the Moon. To the Moon aired as NOVA episode 2610 in 1999.
