The Apollo series captures the events of five of NASA's tremendously successful and groundbreaking manned missions to the moon. Before these expeditions, the moon was a topic full of speculation and debate. The Apollo program ended those discussions and replaced hypothesis with fact. Each documentary is loaded with stunning footage from the lunar missions and interviews with crewmembers, historians and NASA personnel involved in each flight. Behind the scenes stories, mission objectives, astronaut training, barriers and significant scientific discoveries are detailed.
Apollo 17: Final Footprints On The Moon Launched in December 1972, the final Apollo mission served as the last time a man (Eugene Cernan) would walk on the moon for the foreseeable future. The crew also included the first trained scientist, a geologist, to set foot on the moon. The astronauts traversed 30 kilometers on the moon and brought back more samples than any other Apollo mission.
