In this episode, hear first hand testimonials and dialogue from the incredible men who walked on the moon. Incredible footage and photos give a unique and beautiful experience of their data collection process and journey home.

Between 1968 and 1972, NASA successfully sent 24 men where no human beings had been before or since. The final mission, Apollo 17, flew in December 1972 and closed the final chapter in NASA's triumphant Apollo Program. The Apollo 17 Experience is an emotive, informative and inspirational tribute to the spirit of human exploration and mankind's final steps on the Moon.

@14:09 That is my wife's grandfather Joseph who was geologist who assisted in choosing lunar landing sites exclaiming a volcanic mix when Astronaut excitedly discovered orange soil. She was so proud of him. Now she is with him in heaven. I love you Pattyann.

One of the most moving documentaries I recall seeing. All involved in Apollo are representative of the pinnacle of human achievement.

Going to the moon must've been such a bittersweet experience, for one knowing you've been somewhere no person has been before must be awe inspiring, but the sadness of knowing you'll most likely never return to the moon must be deep. Still, would give anything to have had that experience myself.

There is so much to get from this documentary but can I just say how cute these two are? Like they are just so happy and you can feel their almost child-like joy exuding from both of them. I don't think I've ever smiled so much watching a doc before.

The ending was so beautiful, but also so sad. All put together you as a viewer feel like the third explorer with Cernan and Schmitt. You go on this incredible journey into the unknown, see it all up close, almost as though for yourself. Look back at our fragile blue marble in the sky void. Yet you know where it all went, and we've been stranded in low orbit for nearly half a century. Reach out mankind, touch the stars.

The fender on the lunar rover. Fixing that with the maps they had and some clamps is all the proof I need. This by far, is the best documentary of all the Apollo missions. It is just so phenomenal, so spectacular, so incredible, it should be mandatory for everyone in high school to watch and have an exam the next day to see if the students can fully comprehend and appreciate what it took to accomplish- in my opinion, the greatest achievement in the history of the world. Mankind's ultimate quest to touch another world. Just so beautiful. So utterly magnificent. I don't know what created all of this- the moon, the Earth, and the stars, but whatever it is, it's so beyond our ability to comprehend, it's so profoundly complex, yet I feel it admires our courage and curiosity. We will probably never understand how this was all created, but at least we have been given the tools to try.

Hands down the best Apollo doc ever made. I don’t really care about how many foot lbs of thrust the F1 engine had, I want to know what it felt like to be there. This one answered all those questions.

I mean seriously. Imagine walking on the moon! Its so far away but still feels so close. It seriously as to be one of the coolest things to experience. Amazing what we can do. imagine what we can do in 1000 years if we can keep ourselves and our planet together.

one of the most respectful documentaries ever made.

The Apollo program what a great accomplishment, certainly ranks up there as one of mankind's greatest achievements, a wonderful documentary that celebrates the expertise and ingenuity of NASA and especially the bravery of all the astronauts, one thing that surprised me was the way Eugene Cernan (R.I.P.) and Harrison Schmitt seemed to be enjoying their experience on the Lunar surface.

Spectacular! It brought a tear to my eye, and wirh the recent loss of Gene Cernan it was a fitting tribute to his legacy.

I don't think I've ever seen a documentary that told the story of Apollo with such poignant grace. A high watermark in storytelling for a high watermark in human achievement. Thank you.

Great Documentary and footage of man's last trip to the Moon.
@dominic-alexandredesrosier6272 5年前

Very nice documentary! it make feel us like we were there. It incredible what those guys have lived. When I look the moon, I always think about that. The fact that no humans set the foot since 1972 make the next moon landing more special, like a second first one :) I can't wait this day!

Man! That picture at 21:33 is incredible, even better than the famous "Earthrise" photo.

In 2019 the whole planet needs another apollo mission.
