In this episode Mark talks about one of his favourite films: the 2018 American biographical drama film "First Man" directed by Damien Chazelle and written by Josh Singer. Based on the 2005 book "First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong" by James R. Hansen, the film stars Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong, alongside Claire Foy, Jason Clarke, Kyle Chandler, Corey Stoll, Christopher Abbott, and Ciarán Hinds. The follows the years, the missions, the people, as well as the sacrifices that lead up to the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon in 1969, which culminated in Neil Armstrong becoming the first man to set foot on the Moon on July 20, 1969, and the film also shows just how influential and involved Neil was behind the scenes in everything that eventually made it possible for him to take one giant leap for all mankind.
