Apollo 9 - Three To Make Ready (1969)

Astronaut David R. Scott, commander, standing on the slope of Hadley Delta, uses a 70mm camera during Apollo 15 extravehicular activity (EVA) on the lunar surface.

This movie shows the variations in the lunar gravity field as measured by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) during the primary mapping mission from March to May 2012.

This montage depicts the flight crew patches for the manned Apollo 7 thru Apollo 17 missions. 

Records the accomplishment of the basic mission of Apollo 10 - to uncover and solve the few remaining problems before lunar landing.

The scenes in the video are so dramatic that you may find yourself reaching out to pick up a rock and becoming restless to walk among the lunar peaks.
