Shadow of the Moon is a documentary about the Apollo Space Program.  It “stars” the real astronauts who traveled to the moon.  What I love about the movie is getting to know these real life heroes.  They are smart, funny, and humble.  They are genuinely awed by everything they have been through, and they talk about the spirituality of the experience.  I also loved the very end where they address the issue that has come up where some people say the whole moon landing was “faked.”  One astronaut says: “We landed on the moon 9 times.  Why would we fake it 9 times?”  These men are truly amazing, they have “the right stuff” still!
