The nation’s TV-news outlets have spent countless hours covering the coronavirus pandemic. On late Wednesday afternoon, for at least a little while, they will focus on something entirely different.
CBS News, NBC News and ABC News are preparing to break into regularly scheduled programming a few minutes before 4:30 p.m. eastern Wednesday in a bid to chronicle the launch of a joint mission between Nasa and entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX that will represent the first time American astronauts will take off from U.S. soil since 2011. Both Fox News Channel and MSNBC are planning to break away from regular programming at that time in order to bring viewers coverage of the spectacle. Fox News will offer Fox Broadcasting affiliates special coverage of the event at 4:25 p.m. with anchor Leland Vittert.
Some news divisions are using the launch to highlight emerging business ventures and new means of distribution.

Red Bull Media House has pacted with Berlin-based space pioneers PTScientists to be the exclusive media production and distribution partner for “Mission to the Moon,” the first private venture to land on the Moon. The partnership was announced at an event at TV conference and market MipTV in Cannes.
Fifty years after the first humans stepped on the Moon, PTScientists will undertake their mission to land on the Moon in the second half of 2019. “Mission to the Moon” will be a robotic space exploration mission led by Robert Böhme. It will return to the landing site of the Apollo 17 mission, and will view the final footprints and the Moon buggy left behind on the lunar surface.
“We aim to create an ‘Apollo moment’ for a new generation. PTScientists believe that space belongs to everyone and ‘Mission to the Moon’ will make space accessible for all to explore,” Böhme said in a statement.

Georges Méliès’ A Trip To The Moon, Apollo 13, The Right Stuff, HBO’s “From The Earth To The Moon.” Since the birth of cinema, audiences have been preoccupied with trips to our closest celestial body. Hollywood and Nasa merge once again – this time to tell the story of Captain Gene Cernan in the documentary The Last Man On The Moon.
This is the story of one of the very few men who went to the moon not only once, but twice. He first went to the moon on the Apollo 10 mission. It was the dress rehearsal for Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 landing on the Moon. His next flight was Apollo 17, the last time men would go to the moon. Riding aboard a Saturn V rocket, the largest and most powerful and impressive rocket that ever successfully flew, he was on man’s last mission to explore earth’s closest neighbor.

This is a trailer for a great looking documentary called The Last Man on the Moon. It focuses on Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene Cernan. In December of 1972, he returned to the lunar module after two and half days of surface operations on the moon, and no one has returned to the moon since. The doc tells us the story of this momentous final journey. The film features interviews with Cernan, his family, and several other astronauts.
Astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans were the three brave men chosen to fly Nasa's final mission. They have been written up in history books and acknowledged by the space and scientific communities, but have never received the public recognition they truly deserved. Apollo 17's voyage to the moon was the crowning glory of man's lunar exploration. This documentary features spectacular Nasa footage and exclusive interviews with space scientists who worked on the...

- Space missions aren't what they once were - back during the Apollo missions, an astronaut for Nasa was up there with cops and firemen as prime choices of "what I want to be when I grow up" professions for little boys. Th!NKFilm acquired all North American rights to In the Shadow of the Moon. Preeming in the World docu comp at Sundance, David Sington uses never-before-seen footage and images that were taken between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. “In the Shadow of the Moon” brings together for the first, and very possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission which flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words. This riveting first-hand testimony is interwoven with visually
