This fascinating BBC documentary looks at the human race's relationship with the moon from its elaborate rock formations and the process of mapping its movements to the Apollo missions which explored it. The Moon also looks at the moons of other planets, such as Jupiter's Titan and ice-covered Europa, which is the current best bet for life outside Earth.
Future NASA plans to build a habitat on the moon are also examined, along with the plans of other organizations which plan to colonize our closest celestial body.
Web Note: The July 20 edition of Arizona Illustrated observes the 40th anniversary of the moon landing with a Pam White report on the University of Arizona's connection to man's first walk on the moon; host Bill Buckmaster talking with UA Planetary Scientist Robert Strom about his involvement with the Apollo missions; and an interview with Gene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon. Arizona Illustrated, July 20 at 6:30 p.m. on PBS-HD channel 6. Encore broadcast July 20 at 9:30 p.m. on UA Channel.
