For all mankind [blu-ray]

In July 1969, the space race ended when Apollo 11 fulfilled President Kennedy's space challenge. No one who witnessed the lunar landing will ever forget it. The story of the twenty-four men who traveled to the moon, told in their words, in their voices, using the images of their experiences. Forty years after the first moon landing it remains the most radical, earthshaking event.
