Season 1 - Episode 2: The Moon
Air Date: February 27th, 2006
Summary: Our most ancient ancestors were fascinated by the Moon and used its changing phases as a way of telling time before calendars or the written word. Almost every ancient society with a system of gods and goddesses included the Moon in its pantheon. The Moon gravity causes the tides, and this twice-daily reminder of the Moon's immense power led people to wonder if it also had an effect on human behavior. The Moon race in the 1960's advanced our understanding of the Moon hugely and the program provides insight into the significance of the exciting period in space history. Blending archive footage and photography from the Apollo missions, NASA and the European Space Agency with interviews from a variety of experts, this documentary is a revealing look at mankind's fascination with our moon - and many others.
