Apollo 11 is a television film which aired on November 17, 1996. It was nominated for Primetime Emmy.
Fearful that the Russians would continue their lead in the space race and be the first to put a man on the moon, NASA felt an enormous pressure to push the Apollo Program forward as quickly as possible, though they knew that pushing too hard could lead to the ultimate disaster. This film recreates the tensions that were felt not only by the three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, but also by their families and by the teams of technicians training to deal with anything that could go wrong.
Buzz Aldrin, one of the three Apollo 11 astronauts, contributed to this movie as technical advisor.
I asked them why the wilderness had to die
Their replay to me showed the reason was naked greed.
Mass action could stop them - But you've got to start it
World Park status for the Antarctica.
They rape and plunder whatever they find - Sea polluted and minerals mined. Poisoned animals slowly die as they suck Antarctica dry.
Cumoan chris - Gie it laldy ya raj!!
And the factory ships set sail - A death sentence for the whale
And as the sea turns to red yet more life blood is shed.
Park proposals are greeted with mirth by those who rape our Earth
So will you really just stand by and watch the last great wilderness die?
