Conspiracy Moon Landing
Conspiracy Moon Landing [TV-G]
In 1969, millions watched Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon live on television. Why then do some people claim this monumental achievement never really happened? Conspiracy Moon Landing explores why, so many years later, there are those who claim that the moon landings are a fraud on a huge scale.
Immediately following is part one of a two-part series about the space race. Part two airs on Monday June 5th.
Space Race: The Untold Story
Secret Weapons [TV-PG]
Part one delves into the story of the two men at the center of the race - ex-Nazi Wernher von Braun on the American team and the Sergei Korolev, the Soviet project leader. Technical director of Hitler's V2 Rocket program, von Braun realized Germany's defeat was inevitable and set off to place himself under American protection. Ironically, heading the Soviets' chase was Sergei Korolev, recently freed from a prison camp where he had been confined during one of Stalin's purges.
Part one airing: June 4 & 5 (see listings for other times)
In Part Two, viewers see the Space Race intensifying as the Cold War escalates with rare footage of the Russian program, including the Nedelin disaster, the N-1 disaster, and the R7 launches. Race for the Moon also shows how the U.S. system of research and leadership continued to build momentum while, in contrast, the USSR's program was slowing, beset by funding cuts, bureaucratic in-fighting, and technological breakdowns.
Part two airing: June 5 & 6 (see listings for other times)
