In July, it will have been a half century since Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Nothing since
has captured the worldwide excitement of this technological “leap for mankind.” For All Mankind
was a passion project; Al Reinert taped 80 hours of interviews with the astronauts, and he and
editor Susan Korda edited millions of feet of film from nine Apollo missions into a tight 79 minutes. The end result is not a documentation of a single event or even the NASA program as a whole; it’s a deeply moving celebration of mankind’s great adventure into space. Brian Eno’s score captures the feeling of wonder, joy, and levity seen in the images.

79 min
