The Universe Strikes Back
Apollo 12 is struck by lightning two minutes after lift-off. With mission Control's aid the crew saves their powerless craft and laughs about it all the way to the moon. After surviving an equally unnerving liftoff, Apollo 13 suffers a catastrophic explosion 200,000 miles from home and heading in the wrong direction. Suddenly Mission Control has a new mission.
The Last Man on the Moon
Public apathy and Congressional budget cuts chip away at the Apollo program. With only three missions left, newly recruited geologist-astronauts lobby for the few remaining seats. NASA, in conjunction with teams from the U.S. Geological Survey and numerous universities, sets out to do real science in an incredibly harsh laboratory, despite protests from some of the fighter jock astronauts. The story of the "J" missions, Apollo 15 through 17, as told by Gene Cernan - the last man to walk on the moon.
