‘Moon Beat’ Launches Apollo XI ‘Share Your Memories’ Web Forum for Public To Post Memories

May 21, 2009 - PRLog -- ‘Moon Beat’, the award-winning 40th anniversary Apollo XI documentary film showcasing memories of Apollo XI, NASA and the U.S. space program from top news reporters and senior NASA officials today announced the addition of a new website guestbook feature allowing visitors to also share ‘Memories of Apollo XI.’
The official website is www.moonbeatthemovie.com.

“The 40th anniversary of Apollo XI is an important milestone that we are called to commemorate and celebrate,” said Moon Beat Director/Producer Kevin Stirling. “The news reporters and NASA officials who star in ‘Moon Beat’ have shared their thoughts and memories of Apollo XI and the space race of the 1960s, and it seems fitting that there is also a forum for the public to share their memories about Apollo XI, the U.S. space race, and the newspapers they read during those amazing years.”

‘Moon Beat’ recalls President Kennedy’s call to go to the moon, and the onset of the 1960s space race with the Soviet Union, leading up to the 1969 flight of Apollo XI. The documentary revisits the events from the POV of the news reporters who covered and wrote about the U.S. space program for many years including: John Noble Wilford, New York Times, Al Neuharth, Founder, USA Today and Florida Today, Reg Turnill, BBC Aerospace Correspondent and Joe Morgenstern, Film Critic, The Wall Street Journal and many others. The film also features interviews with senior NASA officials including Jack W. King (Voice of Apollo) who is best remembered for his exhilarating Apollo launch countdowns by millions of Apollo enthusiasts around the world.

The documentary film also features interviews with: George Alexander, Mark Bloom, Kay Bloom, Sue Butler, Bob Button, Henry S. F. Cooper, Jr., Donald C. Drake, Hugh W. Harris, Arthur Hill, Leon Jaroff, Bill Larson, Victor McElheny, Jesco von Puttkamer, John J. Wilhelm, George Wilson and Wolfgang Will.
