Description:
Glynn Lunney, NASA engineer and flight director during the Gemini and Apollo programs, is interviewed about the differences in control center and computing during the Mercury and Apollo programs, and the importance of the Gemini program to the Apollo program. 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.
