To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landings on 20 July 1969, the Apollo 11 crew come together by chance. As one of the three, Michael Collins, later remarked the Apollo 11 crew were “amiable strangers”. Neil Armstrong, as commander, will fly the lunar module down to the surface of the Moon. The descent does not go smoothly. Armstrong spends about 15 minutes alone before Buzz Aldrin emerges to join him. But when they try to lift off to return to the command module, a circuit breaker connected to the ascent engine breaks.With everyone on tenterhooks (President Nixon has a speech prepared in case the mission goes fatally wrong), the astronauts manage to throw the switch by jamming the nib of a pen in it. Joyfully reunited – Collins even kisses them – the ‘a(chǎn)miable strangers' make the long journey home. The world has watched their mission in awe. Appreciating the story for the first time from the perspective of a TV audience, Buzz Aldrin remarks poignantly to Neil Armstrong, “We missed the whole thing”.阿波羅11號太空船於1969年7月實現(xiàn)了人類登上月球的夢。當(dāng)年的太空船發(fā)射場吸引了超過一百萬人群，全世界觀看犰狳現(xiàn)場直播的觀眾人數(shù)達到了創(chuàng)紀錄的六億。今年將會是人類第次登月四十周年，本以戲劇紀錄片形式，露這劃時代的創(chuàng)舉中為人知的內(nèi)幕，其中些秘辛幾乎足以毀破趟偉大任務(wù)。一枝狪狪然救了首次登上月球太空人的命！巖士唐太空人完成登月任務(wù)備返回地球時，發(fā)現(xiàn)月小艇啟動電源的開被他們意外弄斷了，法起飛。危急中，太人拿出一枝原子筆塞開關(guān)的洞裡，才順尸山動登月小艇，免除了場悲劇。此外，紀錄更披露，當(dāng)年美國急成為第一個登上月球國家，阿波羅11號在還沒完全準備好的狀下就出發(fā)，當(dāng)年的美總統(tǒng)尼克遜甚至已經(jīng)備好宣佈哀悼三位太人壯烈犧牲的講稿；美國政府也事先下令NASA，萬一任務(wù)失敗就?魚時切斷連線，以世人親眼目睹太空人進太空的場面?
