In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the historic moon landing, Delta and National Geographic have teamed up to bring the new documentary “APOLLO: Missions to the Moon” onboard in advance of its July premiere on National Geographic.
Starting this month, Delta customers can experience the epic two-hour documentary, featuring newly transferred footage and never-before-heard audio to recount the groundbreaking, key moments of America’s journey to land on the moon before 1970. With no narration nor modern-day talking heads, the missions are experienced entirely through archival TV footage, rediscovered radio broadcasts, home movies, NASA film and mission-control audio to create an eyewitness-like, immersive experience.
“APOLLO: Missions to the Moon” will be available onboard Delta exclusively in June and will premiere on National Geographic on Sunday, July 7 at 9/8c, launching Space Week, the network’s week-long programming event. Space enthusiasts can find more about the history and future of space exploration from National Geographic at natgeo.com/starstruck.
