With the 40th anniversary of the July 20th, 1969 moonwalk in sight, it seemed fitting to give you my top movies on the NASA program. What better way to celebrate that achievement than reliving it on your favorite television. Put these in your Netflix queue if you don't already own them.
1. "The Right Stuff"
Picture from imdb.com
www.imdb.com/title/tt0086197/ This 1983 movie is based on the book by the same name by Tom Wolfe. It takes you from the test pilots like Chuck Yeager trying to break the sound barrier to the launch of the space program. It details the rigorous training programs and the personalities of the men who risked their lives to put the USA at the front of the space race. They are modern day heroes and this movie inspires and informs.
2. "Apollo 13"
Picture from imdb.com
This film www.imdb.com/title/tt0112384/ chronicles the one failed moon mission. It demonstrates the team work, ingenuity, and nail-biting tension that enabled NASA to bring back the astronauts alive after their space module is disabled. Real heroism and the reality of the whole world watching and waiting is powerful. This is a movie to be cherished, and makes science fiction seem small by comparison to real life drama.
3. "In The Shadow of The Moon"
Picture from imdb.com
This documentary www.imdb.com/title/tt0925248/ uses actual NASA footage of space launches that will amaze you and it does something even better, it has the last living men who went to the moon talk about their experience. This is truly a treasure and will rock your world. The ending comments from the astronauts about what their moon flights meant to them is not to be missed. We should all thank Director Ron Howard for having the foresight to record the voices of these pioneers of space travel.
4. "October Sky"
Picture from imdb.com
"October Sky"www.imdb.com/title/tt0132477/ is the story of Homer Hickam, the son of a coal miner, who is inspired by the Russian launch of Sputnik to go into rocket science. The odds and his father are against him. This is based on the true story of a boy who went on to work for NASA despite everything that seemed to be against him. Sure, it's predictable, but it's also inspiring. It will make you believe in the power of your dreams. Good performances by Chris Cooper and Jake Gyllenhaal.
