The Challenger Disaster (TV Movie 2013)

_Tombstone_

Just came across this.

Factual drama exploring the truth behind the space shuttle Challenger's 1986 disintegration.

William Hurt plays Richard Feynman. I like Hurt. Few other good actors in it.

Rotten Tomatoes give 92%

Moonwalkers (2015)

What if Apollo 11 never actually made it? What if, in reality, Stanley Kubrick secretly shot the famous images of the moon landing in a studio, working for the US administration? This is the premise of a totally plausible conspiracy theory that takes us to swinging sixties London, where a stubborn CIA agent will never find Kubrick but instead is forced to team up with a lousy manager of a seedy rock band to develop the biggest con of all time, in this riotous, high-tempo action-comedy.

Finally got around to watching The Challenger Disaster, very good I thought.

She served on the committees that investigated the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, the only person to participate on both.

Brand new Docu Movie coming out based around Eugene Ceman - the last Dude to set foot on the Moon.

When Apollo astronaut Eugene Cernan stepped off the moon in 1972 he left his footprints and his daughter's initials in the lunar dust. Only now, forty years later, is he ready to share his epic but deeply personal story.

Cernan's burning ambition carried him to the spectacular and hazardous environment of space and to the moon. But there was a heavy price to pay for the fame and privilege that followed. As his wife famously remarked, 'If you think going to the moon is hard, try staying at home.'

'The Last Man on the Moon' combines rare archive material, compelling visual effects and unprecedented access to present an iconic historical character on the big screen.

Got it's premiere last Night.

Yes I thought so too.
The episode on the Apollo One fire was the best overall I thought. The blame game going on between NASA and North American Aviation was particularly well done.

I can't recommend For All Mankind (1988) enough.

It's a documentary. The director got access to the NASA archives and reviewed an enormous amount of film from the Apollo missions. There are lots of shots you'll see nowhere else.
