Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. In the Shadow of the Moon brings together for the first, and very possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission which flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words.
America’s quest to put a man on the moon, while both fascinating and inspiring, has been well covered on film, perhaps most notably in From the „Earth to the Moon“ and „Apollo 13“. Add to that a space program that by the early 2000s ranked near Abscam in terms of public interest, and it’s easy to see why the documentary „In the Shadow of the Moon†might be a tough sell. Yet this simple, stylish look at the Apollo space program is a quietly powerful rumination on the nature of patriotism, heroism, and humanity.
Director David Sington utilises a narrator-less structure that intercuts stunning stock footage with insightful commentary from the surviving astronauts who walked on the moon. There are no experts, no voiceovers, and no recreations. It’s a style that works quite well, recalling the work of Errol Morris. While the space shots and the behind-the-scenes footage of NASA operations are fascinating, the astronauts–Buzz Aldrin, Dave Scott, and Alan Bean, among them–are a revelation. Variously witty, heartfelt, modest, and humbled when discussing their journeys into space, it’s easy to understand why these men were heroes to a generation. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of this film is the way in which the viewer is reminded of how genuinely stunning the Apollo mission was for not only the United States, but the world. One need not be reminded that 1969 was a tumultuous year for Earth, and Neil Armstrong’s famous one small step for man literally united the planet, giving true credence to the latter half of his famous statement. The movie posits that for one fleeting moment the world was together and at peace. „In the Shadow of the Moon†expertly recreates that moment, without a shred of excess patriotism, pretence, or sentiment.

Please provide a new link for part22.rar because it is only down.

Folks don’t waste your rapidshare quota (like I did) until part22 can be re-upped.

@PolyHedron: Sorry to have to tell you, you got a faulty download. All files are fine and the pass is correct (some +500 downloads and no negative report support this). Try downloading part 47 again.

I think, I have problem with letter § in password.
With WinRar 3.7.1, I copy password from web page and paste in winrar password request
dialog box, after click Enter winrar said “! D:\Void\Void_1968.part01.rar: CRC failed in the encrypted file D:\Void\Void_1968.part01.rar (wrong password ?) …,etc” every .rar files.
Now I can not extract any .rar files but Thank you for your sharing.

The files extract okay. I had to download like 10 of them again but that was my fault, or flashget’s fault.
Great share. I saw this documentary on cable and I thought it was worth adding to my collection, but only if I could find it in HD. And I did! Thanks a bunch.
Great blog you have here, btw.
Polyhedron: Have you tried downloading part1 again? The password works okay in my winrar.

Hoverfly I downloaded all parts & extracted ok, but when I play the movie the video & audio is in slow motion. I tried converting the mkv file to avi with no luck. Any ideas????
Thank you for the downloads though. I saw it on the Science Channel.. a great movie.
