| You've never seen this side of the space race. | | | | Watch the premiere of Chasing the Moon TONIGHT at 9pm on KQED 9. A three-night event, Chasing the Moon recasts the space race as a fascinating stew of scientific innovation, political calculation, media spectacle, visionary impulses and personal drama. Chasing the Moon also features a visual feast of lost and overlooked archival footage – much of which has never before been seen by the public, making the film a must watch. |
