Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, and Neil Armstrong pioneered science and space travel during the summer of 1969 when they landed on the moon, taking that giant leap for mankind in the name of progress. “Moonwalk One,” covers the lead up to the walk on the moon, including preparations the crew went under, checks and double checks on equipment and the rocket that would blast them into space, but it also documents the culture and society of the time and the excitement of average citizens as they watched history in the making. Actual communication between the crew at Houston and the flight team creates a historical immediacy over the beautiful, harrowing, narration.
