NASA's Greatest Missions - Season 1 Episode 3 Part 3: Landing the Eagle
By 1967, the Apollo programme was preparing for the ultimate prize of the Space Race, landing humans on the Moon. But as the engineers tested the command module, NASA experienced its first disaster when a fire broke out in the pressurised capsule of Apollo 1, resulting in the deaths of Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee. It was an unprecedented tragedy that changed NASA forever.
Apollo 8 was the most powerful rocket ever built and its mission of taking man to the dark side of the Moon for the first time paved the way for NASA's ultimate goal. 8 years, 1 month and 22 days after John F. Kennedy challenged America to land a man on the Moon, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, with the eyes of the world upon them, triumphantly took their place in history.
