In the Shadow of the Moon is an incredible documentary about the United States Apollo space program. It's an intimate thrill-ride, a patriotic epic that vividly communicates the daring, the danger, the pride, and the promise of this extraordinary era in history when the whole world literally looked up at America. It is an inspiring, funny, uplifting first-hand account of one of the greatest endeavors in human history.

The Apollo space program literally brought the aspirations of a nation to another world. Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the moon, and 12 men walked on its surface.

In the Shadow of the Moon brings together for the first, and possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission that flew to the moon along with visually stunning archival material re-mastered from the original NASA film footage. It provides a unique perspective on the precious state of our planet.

In the Shadow of the Moon will open October 5th and will play daily only at 5:30 p.m. through October 11th at the Kimball's Twin Peak Theater, located at 115 E. Pikes Peak Ave. Call the theater at 447-1945 for show times.

Downtown parking is free through October 6th to celebrate the opening of the new Bijou street bridge.

The Colorado Springs Rocket Society will have a display in the lobby of Kimball's Twin Peak theater from Friday October 5th through Sunday, October 7th. The Redstone, Saturn 1, and Saturn V rockets from local vendor Apogee and other models will be on display. The mighty Saturn V was launched on July 20, 1969, and landed our astronauts on the moon.
