A Companion Book to the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Film on PBS
Going in depth to explore their stories beyond the PBS series, writer/producer Robert Stone – called “one of our most important documentary filmmakers” by Entertainment Weekly – brings these important figures to brilliant life.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy proposed the nation spend $20 billion to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. Based on eyewitness accounts and newly discovered archival material, Chasing the Moon reveals for the first time the unknown stories of the fascinating individuals whose imaginative work across several decades culminated in America’s momentous achievement. More than a story of engineers and astronauts, the moon landing – now celebrating its 50th anniversary – grew out of the dreams of science fiction writers, filmmakers, military geniuses, and rule-breaking scientists.
