Man on the Moon with Walter Cronkite
One of our country’s most televised events took place in the month of July 1969 when Walter Cronkite covered the first manned mission to land on the moon. Always passionate about the space program, Cronkite with jubilant enthusiasm kept the TV audience fully informed throughout the entire Apollo 11 mission that ended successfully with the command module splashdown in the Pacific. Relive or watch for the first time the drama of man’s most spectacular journey beyond the earth to the moon and back.
