- Description
- Program Description
- 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.
- Raw Footage Description
- Gene Cernan, NASA astronaut, aviator, and engineer who was part of Gemini 9A, Apollo 10, and Apollo 17, is interviewed about the addition of science and scientist-astronauts to the Apollo program. Although the science and scientists were not warmly welcomed to Apollo, they eventually integrated into the group, and Cernan discusses working with Jack Schmitt during Apollo 17, and the science that was necessary to the mission, and describes Jack Schmitt's discovery of orange soil on the moon.
