Excellent Movie

Created: 30/12/08
I show this movie at the end of my space unit to my 8th graders. THis movie really keeps their attention and fits in nicely to my state standards. I like how it is based on a true event and the kids end up looking into more space related items because of this movie. The actors are great and i never get sick of watching it year after year.

One Word - Outstanding

Created: 25/05/07
The blow-by-blow account of mankind's third attempt to land a man on the moon, as told from the prespective of the mission commander himself.

The real-life characters of this event leap from the celluiod in a nonstop, action-packed, Hollywood blockbuster, and popularized the term, "Failure is Not an Option".

It should be required viewing for every middle school student.
