Armstrong

Dramatic, moving and deeply human, ARMSTRONG offers the definitive portrait of Neil Armstrong: from his childhood in Ohio to the Moon, and beyond.

Sad news. Jerry Bostick, one of the greats of Apollo-era Mission Control has passed away. He was enormously helpful to our Mission Control film. A warm and generous soul and a great American. Love and blessings to his family and friends.

Mark Craig (director), myself (producer) and Ansgar Pohle (producer) at the premiere of our new APOLLO 1 movie at the Boulder International Film Festival. It was a very moving event.

Gemini 8. March 16th 1966.
A near fatal spin might have changed history.

Neil Armstrong & Dave Scott made the first docking in space, followed by the first big US inflight emergency. An open thruster sent the craft into a wild, wild spin.

Neil's piloting skills saved them both.

A moment in space history.

[Keith Haviland @KeithHaviland]

The glorious sight of Earth from 1,400km ....

[MissionControlMovie @missionmovie]

55 years ago #Apollo11 opened a new door to the human future.

We're proud to have supported 3 major docs that celebrate that moment, telling the stories of an extraordinary team, the perfect astronaut, & the whole space race.

Available across streaming platforms. Enjoy.

Secundus gradus. Ad astra.

The wonderful Colonel Frank Borman!

[Keith Haviland @KeithHaviland]

In honour of a long, great life lived with grace, here is a clip of Frank Borman giving Gareth Dodds, David Fairhead and crew a friendly hard-time while shooting our movie 🎥 on Neil Armstrong. He was magnificent. Godspeed!

[Armstrong @ArmstrongDocu]

Sad news about Frank Borman.
He appeared in our movie about Neil Armstrong in 2019.
He was an absolute joy to work with.
Godspeed.

[Keith Haviland @KeithHaviland]

Hugely, hugely sad news about the passing of Frank Borman, who commanded Apollo 8, the first human mission to the Moon. We worked with him several times & he was direct, clever, grounded & very, very funny. Here he is, talking about his friend Neil Armstrong.
Blue skies, sir.

[Armstrong @ArmstrongDocu]

Happy Birthday, Gene Kranz!

[MissionControlMovie @missionmovie]

A very Happy 90th Birthday to Gene Kranz, legendary NASA Flight Director, who was the centre of many key moments of the Apollo program.🌎🚀🌖🇺🇸🎂

We've had the extraordinary pleasure & privilege of interviewing Gene for multiple films. A true American icon. Best wishes, Sir.

50 years ago a SATURN V roared into orbit carrying Skylab. It didn't go well.

A micrometeorite shield was lost, changing Skylab's thermal properties. Temperature rose to 130+°F. A solar panel stuck, draining it of power.

But Skylab would get fixed. Another NASA miracle.

Initially, Mission Control made huge efforts to keep the station alive. NASA engineer Jack Kinzler devised a cooling parasol device to be installed by the first crew, who also unjammed the solar panel. Failure again was not a option.

[Armstrong @ArmstrongDocu]

Another, even more fabulous image of our hero with the LLRV.

[Gavin Price @pilliarscreatio]

I like this game!

[Armstrong @ArmstrongDocu]

Beautiful image of Neil, just before the famous LLRV accident.

[NASA History Office @NASAhistory]

#OTD in 1968, Astronaut Neil Armstrong takes the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle 1 (LLRV-1) for a training flight and is forced to eject right before it crashes in a fiery blaze!

There are extraordinary privileges to living in our times, being permitted sights not seen by earlier generations.

Here is a direct image of the Fomalhaut system from
the James Webb Space Telescope. It's dusty belts are complex & span 14 billion miles. #NASA #JWST

Remembering #GlynnLunney, who is looking at his screen at the bottom of this image. He was a strong and calm leader, and extraordinary well-mannered. He made all of us feel like friends when we interviewed him for our film. Good times. #Apollo13 #NASA
