One of the most spectacular achievements of the 20th century was the series of moon landings performed by NASA's Apollo Program. These occurred between 1969 and 1972. What is the story of the program that put humans on the lunar surface for the first time? Let's go through all the details, with the help of extremely rare archival footage that will captivate you! This first video will serve as an overview for the entire program, describing all of the vehicles and equipment involved, some important contextual information regarding the establishment of the program, as well as the chronology of Apollo 1 through Apollo 6, including the devastating Apollo 1 fire that tragically claimed the lives of three astronauts.
