From John Glenn&#8217;s camera, to Apollo 11&#8217;s command module, to the last space boots on the Moon -still covered in lunar dust &#8211; the series reveals the stories of the men and women who made the mission possible. Stunning footage of each mission &#8211; some of it rarely seen &#8211; is combined with NASA&#8217;s oral histories taken directly from the astronauts&#8217; debriefings upon their return to the Earth. In-depth explorations of astronaut artifacts from the Museum&#8217;s vaults form an intimate connection between the viewer and the men on the face of the Moon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The scale of Project Apollo was unprecedented, costing $25 billion at the time &#8211; more than either the Manhattan Project or the Panama Canal,&#8221; said Teasel Muir-Harmony, curator at the National Air and Space Museum. &#8220;Through the use of key artifacts, this series demonstrates the breadth of a venture which drew on the combined effort of over 400,000 people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The APOLLO&#8217;S MOON SHOT AR app, created in partnership with AR\/VR studio Immersion, allows viewers to trace the full timeline of the Moon program through key moments from the series. Augmented reality features enable anyone with an AR-compatible smartphone or tablet to shoot off a Saturn V rocket, take a selfie under extreme G-forces, step through a portal onto the Moon and experience authentic challenges from the Apollo mission, such as piloting the Apollo Lander on its treacherous descent to the Moon&#8217;s surface. Several AR features will be optimized for sharing on social media.<\/p>\n<p>THE DAY WE WALKED ON THE MOON unfolds with a minute-by-minute description of those 24 hours when humanity first stepped on to the Moon &#8211; told by the people who witnessed it. Astronauts (including Michael Collins, the third member of the Apollo 11 mission), members of Mission Control (including Flight Director Gene Kranz, Capsule Communicator Charles Duke and Guidance Officer Steve Bales) and the children of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin reveal their personal stories behind the scenes of the iconic day. Pop culture notables like Queen guitarist and doctor of astrophysics Brian May and television personality and professor of physics Brian Cox describe where they were and what they felt during that &#8220;One Small Step.&#8221; It&#8217;s a story that ranges from the deeply personal to the grand and historic, an in-depth look at one of the most important 24-hour periods in history.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2094917355\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>APOLLO&#8217;S MOON SHOT is produced by Smithsonian Channel.
