Eden’s documentary The Moon: Our Gateway to the Universe explores some new and surprising facts and discoveries about the Earth’s satellite
Eden’s The Moon: Our Gateway to the Universe sees historians and geologists look back at the US/Soviet Space Race, and examines what we’ve discovered over the years from lunar rocks, photos and other analysis.
This is just one of a series of Moon-related programmes in Eden’s Space Week, commemorating half a century since man walked on the Moon.
The Moon: Our Gateway to the Universe also poses the question why human visits to the Moon stopped after 1972, and discusses what the future might hold.
Will it be the Moon, Mars or bust?
