In the Shadow of the Moon
There are only 2 things that the liberal Ron Howard(*) has done that we like: (1) his directing the film Apollo 13 and (2) this follow up presentation of his called In the Shadow of the Moon.
(*) Ron Howard played a teenager in the hit comedy TV series called Happy Days.

In The Shadow of the Moon is an intimate epic, which vividly communicates the daring and the danger, the pride and the passion, of this extraordinary era in American History. Between 1968 and 1972, the world watched in awe each time an American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon. Only 12 American men walked upon its surface and they remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. Now for the first time, and very possible the last, In The Shadow of the Moon combines archival material from the original NASA film footage, much of it never before seen, with interviews with the surviving astronauts who emerge as eloquent, witty, emotional and very human.

"Given the widespread moral relativism in the culture today, it is more important than ever that Christians understand and are committed to absolute truth. Our worldview curriculum, presented by Dr. Del Tackett, is addressed to that issue in an effective and captivating way. It is one of the most exciting programs to come from this ministry in many years."
