An extremely dull documentary

1. The extremely dull documentary, I slept twice in the middle, and took four years to finish it. . .

2. It doesn't even describe the scale of the moon landing project, the details of the organization, and the technology of the moon landing equipment. . .

3. Only one key point is pointed out: the first goal of the US moon landing is political competition. . .

4. The color of the whole film is heavy, the music is slow, and the lack of joy and pride for the successful moon landing is more like mourning. . .

5. I believe more and more that the moon landing was done in the studio. . .

In the Shadow of the Moon quotes

  • Charlie Duke: I was able to look out the window to see this incredible sight of the whole circle of the Earth. Oceans were crystal blue, the land was brown, and the clouds and the snow were pure white. And that jewel of Earth was just hung up in the blackness of space.

  • Michael Collins: When the sun is shining on the surface at a very shallow angle, the craters cast long shadows and the Moon's surface seems very inhospitable, forbidding almost. I did not sense any great invitation on the part of the Moon for us to come into its domain. I sensed more almost a hostile place, a scary place.
