This vintage NASA film, produced before Apollo 11, captures the intense testing behind one of humanity’s greatest achievements. From explosive rocket failures to successful spacecraft escape tests and parachute landings, every frame shows how NASA engineers pushed the limits to ensure safety in space. Watch prototypes of the Apollo command, service, and lunar modules undergo drop tests, engine firings, and re-entry trials — the groundwork that made the Moon landing possible. #Apollo #NASA #Space
