This untitled film from 1969 was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for use by the press, and as publicity for the upcoming Apollo XI mission. In the film, astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin discuss their upcoming Apollo 11 Moon Landing Mission. Each astronaut is interviewed individually and are asked a few questions about their specific roles and duties during the mission itself as well as their thoughts on the impact the mission will have on mankind for years to come. Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the moon and launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16th, 1969. The mission marked a turning point for space exploration and successfully completed the national goal set by President John F. Kennedy eight years prior to perform a crewed lunar landing and return to Earth.
