Librarian’s Note: This is a powerful documentary, and one of the finest Apollo documentaries around. Mike Collins is clearly the star of the show, but so too is the ice and fire of the Saturn launch, or Buzz’s long pause on the way down to the surface, or Charlie Duke posing the question “If we were going to fake going to the Moon, why would we do it nine times?” Best seen on the biggest screen you can find with the loudest system you can get your hands on, because that Saturn thunders!

Librarian’s Note: About freakin’ time! A textbook example of what happens when you don’t throw any marketing muscle behind a flick, this is a phenomenal movie that practically no one saw. Sort of an Apollo documentary, partially an exploration of what ifs, a bit of sentimental pedagogy, and lots of gorgeous, gorgeous images, especially of the Hadley Rille visit. Oh, and Ms. Commander Lugo, that’s my job you’re talking about!

Librarian’s Note: Some folks at NASA are trying to track down about 400 seeds that were carried to and around the Moon by Astronaut Stuart Roosa aboard Apollo 14. I note the absence of Moon Trees in Texas, something I find hard to believe, though I’m sure they’re scattered around the world. If you have knowledge, please contact Dr. Williams at the address given at the weblink above.

Descendents of the original trees can be purchased at the American Forests Historic Tree Nursery Store
