Nearly 50 years ago, we took one small step. Join us to relive the journey that defined a generation. In this next edition of LIVE@Frost Science, join Frost Science for an exclusive, 60-minute advance screening of the first part of Chasing the Moon.
 |
Chasing the Moon, a film by Robert Stone, thoroughly reimagines the race to the moon for a new generation, up-ending much of the conventional mythology surrounding the effort. The three-part series recasts the Space Age as a fascinating stew of scientific innovation, political calculation, media spectacle, visionary impulses, and personal drama.
Utilizing a visual feast of previously overlooked and lost archival material — much of which has never before been seen by the public — the film features a diverse cast of characters who played key roles in these historic events. Among those included are astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Frank Borman and Bill Anders; Sergei Khrushchev, son of the former Soviet premier and a leading Soviet rocket engineer; Poppy Northcutt, a 25-year old “mathematics whiz” who gained worldwide attention as the first woman to serve in the all-male bastion of NASA’s Mission Control; and Ed Dwight, the Air Force pilot selected by the Kennedy administration to train as America’s first black astronaut.
