summer heat for a few hours, there is a documentary film (made in 2007)

“I believe that this nation should commit itself, to achieving the goal,
before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him
safely to the Earth.” These words spoken by President John F. Kennedy in May
1961 changed the lives of twelve men who became known as “Moonwalkers.” The
Wonder of It All focuses on the rarely told human side of the men behind the
Apollo missions through thoughtful and candid accounts from seven
Moonwalkers. Astronauts Buzz Aldin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, John Young,
Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan, and Harrison Schmitt intimately reflect on the
training, the tragedies, the camaraderie and the effect their space travel
has had on their families. *The Wonder of It All* honors the men who walked
on the moon and became heroes to a nation.

July 22-25, 27-28 screening room. 88 minutes
