"A small step for man, but a great step for mankind"

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2019)

The film shows us some of the hardships behind July 20, 1969, when about 500 million people saw the story happening before their eyes. Neil Armstrong gave his "small step for man, but a great step for mankind," becoming the first human to step on the surface of the moon.
Despite being an iconic figure in the history of space exploration, the story about the events that allowed him to be the first man to step on the moon is far less known to the public. And it is precisely these events explored by the film, showing many of the difficulties he had to become an astronaut. And they're pretty hard!
The film is based on the book of the same name written by James Hansen, Armstrong's official biographer, thirteen years ago.
