Description

"The Day We Walked On The Moon" (July 20). This documentary is being screened in nearly 70 Smithsonian Institution-affiliated museums across the country --- including the Heard Museum in Phoenix and Scottsdale's Museum of the West --- on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Astronauts (including Michael Collins, the third member of the Apollo 11 mission), members of Mission Control (including Flight Director Gene Kranz, Capsule Communicator Charles Duke and Guidance Officer Steve Bales) and the children of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin reveal their personal stories behind the scenes of the iconic day. Pop culture notables like Queen guitarist and doctor of astrophysics Brian May and television personality and professor of physics Brian Cox describe where they were and what they felt during that “One Small Step.”

The Heard Museum will screen the free film at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
