  • The Apollo Program was a US television science fiction series from the 1960s and 1970s about men attempting and finally succeeding in travelling to the moon. The series was structured as a set of 17 missions, with episodes about various aspects of preparation for each, then the actual trip. The series was very popular, its best episodes garnered television ratings which have not been bettered to this day. The popularity meant excerpts were shown in news bulletins as well as their normal scheduled slots. The early missions were trips into earth orbit, or orbits around the moon. The most famous mission was number 11 where the "astronauts" (as they were called) actually landed on the moon. Like most television at that time, the series was broadcast live and there were often little ad-libs and deviations from the script. One of those occurred at the crucial moment of setting foot on the moon for the first time. The script called for the character Buzz Aldrin to be the first out, but the actor Philip McCracken playing Armstrong said "look over there" and jumped out of the lander while Aldrin's back was turned. This was obviously a spur of the moment thing, since if McCracken had planned it then surely he would have thought of something memorable to say when he got out. Or perhaps he simply never anticipated the television celebrity which would follow him after that episode.
