40 Years on the Moon

Professor Brian Cox takes a look through nearly 50 years of BBC archive at the story of man's relationship with the moon.

40 Years on the Moon — Plot

From the BBC's space fanatic James Burke testing out the latest Nasa equipment to 1960s interviews about the bacon-flavoured crystals that astronauts can survive on in space, to the iconic images of man's first steps on the moon and the dramatic story of Apollo 13, Horizon and the BBC have covered it all.
