One small step for mankind that should never be forgotten…

In 1961 President John F. Kennedy started the United States on a path of discovery and exploration that captures the best of mankind’s spirit. Astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Eugene Cernan, Charlie Duke, Edgar Mitchell, Harrison Schmitt and John Young reflect on their lives with rarely seen private family photos, and NASA footage including their childhood, their training, the tragedies, the camaraderie and the extraordinary accomplishment of setting foot on another world!

“I believe that this nation should commit itself, to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.” These words spoken by President John F. Kennedy in May 1961 changed the lives of twelve men who became known as “Moonwalkers.”

The Wonder of it All is a documentary focusing on the rarely told human side of the men behind the Apollo missions expressed through thoughtful and candid accounts from seven of the surviving 12 Moonwalkers. Astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, John Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt reflect on their childhood, training, the tragedies, the camaraderie and the effect their space travel had on their families.

This film weaves the astronauts’ insightful interviews with rarely seen private family photos and NASA archival footage to poignantly tell their unique story. They fulfilled the dream of humankind to set foot on another world and in so doing, forever changed the way we view ourselves. This film gives us the unique opportunity to know seven moonwalkers as men.

The Wonder of it All was created, produced and directed by Jeffrey Roth.
