"NASA's motto should be 'Make things impossible even seem easy', and Apollo 11 was just one of those first points where we proved it is not impossible," says former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson in Article. which is also on YouTube.

Apollo 11 was launched in July 1969, when it was difficult to place computers in a single room. The mission flew Armstrong Y Buzz Aldrin to the surface of the moon, while his crewmate Michael Collins waited up in lunar orbit.
The iconic touchdown. It was quite dramatic. Armstrong had to take out the lunar lander from the autopilot to get away from a rocky area; He brought the lander, called the Eagle, safely in the Sea of Tranquility with only a few seconds of remaining fuel.
Five additional human landings followed in the footsteps of Apollo 11 between 1969 and 1972: Apollo 12 and Apollos 14 to 17. Apollo 13 it was also supposed to reach the lunar surface, but that mission suffered a failure that forced the crew to return to Earth.
After the end of Apollo, NASA changed its focus from human space flight to Earth's orbit, specifically, the space shuttle and the ISS missions. But the agency is now working to get people back to the moon in the 2020s.
"There is nothing that goes beyond the landing of the moon, the landing of the moon is the greatest achievement, it is the gold standard for doing something incredibly difficult," says Garrett Reisman, a former astronaut with two space missions to his credit. the new version.
"We all wanted to know what it was like to go to the moon," adds former astronaut Scott Kelly, whose last space mission involved spending almost a year aboard the ISS. "We are explorers, I think it's in our DNA."
"First Man" is based on the 2005 authoritative biography of Neil Armstrong by former NASA historian James Hansen. Armstrong flew twice in space and left NASA in 1971; he died in 2012 of complications of heart surgery. Armstrong is portrayed in the film by Ryan Gosling, who starred in another film with spatial nuances, from 2017 "Blade Runner 2049. "
The lunar sequences in "First Man" were filmed with Imax cameras.
