IMAX Documentary – APOLLO 11: FIRST STEPS EDITION

Timed to the 50th anniversary of NASA’s celebrated Apollo 11 mission, Apollo 11: First Steps Edition is a thrilling cinematic experience that showcases the real-life moments of humankind’s first steps on the Moon. I have always been quite fascinated by our trips to the moon and I can’t wait to see this documentary as The California Science Center this month.
