Aldrin looks at him, and knows this man is not going back without touching the Moon. The camera then zooms in onto Neil's furious eyes lighting up seeing Moon's surface this close to his reach, almost saying - "I've lost everything back on Earth, I'm bloody not turning back at any cost now". He needed this win.... ...240

@
@fredbloggs83693 years agoIt is a disgrace and indictment on our contemporaries that anybody believes this singular, magnificent human achievement was faked. Some people are just too stupid to bother debating. Justin Hurwitz's soundtrack is just amazing and captures the epic nature of this brilliant achievement. And where are we almost 60 years after? Can't even fly a single human to the moon anymore and rarely venture out of our lower atmosphere. ...223

Such a powerful visual aspect of the complexities of humans planning, engineering, resilience, and sheer will against such difficult odds, backed up with powerful and dramatic music like this. This video shows what factually CAN be done, irregardless of what backward conspiracy theorists believe. The Earth is spherical, the Moon IS 238,000 Miles away, and YES, WE HAVE set foot upon its surface!!!!!! ...40

When we left in the late afternoon we were all tired from so much walking. I was sitting in the back seat and my host began playing this music in loop and I thought it matched the beautiful German countryside, but then I asked him about the music, and he told me it was the score to First Man. When I got to the States I became observation with it, and have been playing it over and over. ...2
