Apollo Project

There may not be a man in the moon, but there have certainly been men on the moon! Find out how it all happened in this BrainPOP UK movie, as Tim and Moby introduce you to the history, achievements and failures of NASA’s famous Apollo Project. Discover the evolution of Project Mercury, the impact of the space race against the USSR in the Cold War, and learn why putting a person on the moon was so important. You’ll find out when the goal was achieved, and about the complicated spacecraft such as Apollo 11 that got the men safely to the moon and back. You’ll also hear about a few missions that didn’t turn out so well like Apollo 13, and discover why the programme ended. Finally learn how the Apollo project influenced space exploration, knowledge and technology today. There may not be colonies on the moon in your lifetime, but it’s still an impressive achievement!
