Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMark Armstrong and Rick Armstrong said that this film contained the most accurate portrayal of their father Neil Armstrong and their mother Janet Armstrong.
- GoofsNeil Armstrong never trained in the spin test device, known as MASTIF (multi-axis spin test inertia facility). The device was used for the original Mercury program astronauts but was deemed unrealistic and abandoned. It is considered an irony in space program history that Armstrong never trained in this device and yet is one of only two astronaut to actually experience the condition the device simulated.
- Quotes
Neil Armstrong: I don't know what space exploration will uncover, but I don't think it'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration. I think it'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things. That maybe we should have seen a long time ago. But just haven't been able to until now.
- Crazy creditsNear the end of the closing credits, the music is replaced by radio chatter from the mission.

Written by Meredith Willson
This isn't sci-fi; this isn't fantasy. This isn't a family movie. This is the experience of being Neil Armstrong over the course of several years and several missions. I found it incredibly interesting.
If you don't have a big TV screen and surround sound then I recommend not watching the movie because the air/space missions in this movie are beautiful and need to be properly experience or they won't be appreciated.
