阿波罗11号

70mm大画幅修复后，尘封的50年前的那一幕就像在今天。素材珍贵，品质极佳，能将资料片电影化，剪辑真的有如魔法，配乐更是锦上添花。

看完久久不能平静，尽管早已50年，有几个瞬间还是热泪盈眶。和现在相比，以当时的科技水平、应急预案、安全评定与生命保障系统来说，简直就是一场豪赌。从阿波罗11号到17号，7次登月，6次成功，也必须且一定是一个奇迹。

有几个画面印象深刻。

发射塔不远的度假地，人们用各种方式远望着，那一瞬间，政治荡然无存，只有全人类向新次元的期盼。

出发前的三位宇航员，一脸平静，和执行普通任务无差，只是这一次随时都可能一去不返。

指挥大厅里，人们坚定的眼神与高压下短暂的幽默气氛，你丝毫看不出如果第一次登月失败船毁人亡将意味着什么。

在这些清晰无比的历史资料下，登月阴谋论调简直不值一驳，希望“库里们”早日明白，我们，对力量，应有所知。

与大海星辰相比，左窗外那个蓝色弹珠上面，那些另我们深陷其中的爱恨情仇，不过如草芥耳。

1969年7月20日美国太空人阿姆斯特朗（Neil Armstrong）「阿波罗11」号快要登月的时刻，电脑突然因为有人按错掣响起警报，预示登月任务很可能机毁人亡，幸好登月团队的软件工程女将汉密尔顿（Margaret Hamilton）设计的侦测错误及恢复系统立即启动，迅速化险为夷，缔造人类探索宇宙新章。她日前受访时忆述：「当他们着陆时大家都如释重负：太空人安全，软件完美运作。」

美国跟苏联上世纪展开太空竞赛，苏联在1961年完成首个载人太空任务，美国时任总统甘迺迪翌年宣布要送人登月。美国太空总署（NASA）随即展开「阿波罗」计划，共有40万人参与，成本高达250亿美元。1936年出生的汉密尔顿正是登月其中一名幕后功臣。

女儿按错键意外发现系统漏洞

汉密尔顿数学系毕业。如何用电脑、怎样编写软件等，全是她在麻省理工实验室参与预测天气系统研究工作时，边做边学得来的。她后来在麻省理工的林肯实验室编写软件侦测敌机，1964年多得丈夫看到麻省理工的报章广告，招募人编写程式「送人上月球」，她加入「阿波罗」计划，成为组内第一名女性。她说：「当我接手时，其中一名上司表明不怀疑我是否胜任，只担心组内男同事反对。还好，他们没有。」

在编写登月软件的岁月里，汉密尔顿有时会一边照顾女儿劳伦一边工作。一次，劳伦学妈妈按钮模拟登月，惟她在即将降落时按错键，启动了一个原该在发射前运作的程序，电脑一下子因为收到过多指令，不够容量处理，竟抹走登月所需的导航数据，出现太空舱着陆时坠毁的模拟结果。

汉密尔顿吃了一惊，向上司汇报及建议修改程式防范飞行途中误选扭键，但上司坚信太空人均受过卓越训练不会犯错。结果1968年作史上首次载人环绕月球任务的「阿波罗8」号，有太空人犯了相同错误，汉密尔顿花达9小时修正和重新配置任务。事后，她获准正式着手修改，到翌年「阿波罗11」号登月前3分钟再有人犯错时，其更新软件遂派上用场。

汉密尔顿最近在讲座说：「那软件不仅把超负荷问题通知美国太空中心的任务控制室，还会通知太空人，那软件还开始作出补救，给太空人去或不去的选择；他们决定降落。 『阿波罗11』号机员成了首批踏足月亮的人类，我们的软件成了在月球运作的首款软件。」

美国前总统奥巴马2016年颁授美国公民最高荣誉「总统自由勋章」予她时说：「她象征了协助送人类上太空的一代无名妇女。」

1903年，美国人莱特兄弟在北卡罗来纳州驾驶人造飞行器首次飞上了蓝天，尽管这次飞行的距离只有36.5米；1969年，美国人阿姆斯特朗、奥尔德林、科林斯在休斯敦搭乘土星5号火箭出发，飞往36.5万公里外的月球，并首次成功登月。66年时间，美国将人类的飞行距离整整提高了10,000,000倍！！！！！

从无到有，再到攀上人类至今曾到达过的探索之巅，Apollo 11计划既是人类文明史中最伟大的创举，更是美利坚合众国史上最骄傲的高光一刻。在那个没有超级电脑，没有智能手机，没有互联网，更没有人工智能的年代，这颗行星上最聪明的科学家、工程师们就聚集在了一起，他们用无数的计算、试验与心血凝聚成了Apollo 11飞船。最后，代表人类最沉着、最冷静、最手脑平衡的三位宇航员合作驾驶着飞船，才终于抵达了夜空中那个我们已经仰望了上千万年的荒凉星球。这放在今人眼中仍如此不可思议的一切，竟然50年前的美国人就做到了。

而同样令人震撼的，是关于登月的整个过程竟然都被极其详实的影像记录了下来。在这些画面与声音中，你几乎看不到岁月的痕迹，高清得就跟昨天才录制的一样：观众能清楚地捕抓到里面每一个人的神态，看到阿姆斯特朗那梳得一丝不苟的发型，看到1969年那个激动人心的夏天里，休斯敦海滩上汹涌兴奋的人潮与航天中心紧张沉着的工作人员。这真的是一个超级大国最让人心服口服的凡尔赛。

我固然没能亲临今年初夏“天和”核心舱的发射现场，不知道那天在文昌的现场观众与指挥中心是否如电影里一般的场景，但我仍深深被Apollo 11计划里航天先驱们的冷静与从容打动了。在我们眼中惊天动地的事情，在他们手中是一切都有条不紊，紧密而有序的推进，其中还会间插着轻松搞怪的玩笑。一通通地月间动辄相距上万公里的指令，都仿佛是一件他们已经操办过无数次的平凡任务。这其中的自信和从容，来源于合众国最辉煌时代综合国力的坚强后盾。在结尾，电影重温了1962年肯尼迪发表的登月宣言，镜头中，年仅45岁的美国总统朝气蓬勃，光彩飞扬，他虽没能亲眼见证奇迹实现的一天，但他的自信和从容都被清楚被刻录进了胶卷里，虽经历过岁月的磨砺，仍深深感动了我，感染着半个多世纪后人们。

Even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us. But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall...fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun—almost as hot as it is here today—and do all this, and do all this and do itright, and do it first before this decade is out—then we must be bold.

John F Kennedy

1962 Sep. 12th

本片的全部素材都源自NASA一批被尘封多年的70毫米胶卷底片，让我们有了身临其境重回探月当年的机会。在一战终结百年之际，我们等到了《他们已不再变老》，而到登月半个世纪时，我们又迎来了《阿波罗11号》。现实从来是最伟大的导演，这些记录历史的伟大影像终会成为人类文明璀璨的证明。

有别于《登月第一人》，回归主流视觉的本片完全聚焦在了Apollo 11计划上。告诉人们航天探索从来不是航天员们几个人的事情，探索的成功是背后无数智慧与汗水辛勤浇灌出来的结晶。人类科技能取得今日的成就，一方面，我们全体人类都正从中受益，而另一方面，其实我们每一份子也都直接间接地参与在了其中，所以这理应是一份属于我们全人类共同的自豪。最后，也衷心期待未来有朝一日，能有属于我们民族，我们国家的《阿波罗11号》。

精彩，推荐，考虑收藏。

电影结尾有一段是截取了肯尼迪之前为阿波罗航天计划发表的演讲《We Choose to Go to the Moon》

完整版如下：

President Pitzer, Mr. Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen: I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief. I am delighted to be here and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion. We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a state noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation's own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension. No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense, if you will, the 50 thousand years of man's recorded history in a time span of but a half-century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals to cover them. Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power. Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if America's new spacecraft succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight. This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. Surely the opening vistas of space promise high costs and hardships, as well as high reward. So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer to rest, to wait. But this city of Houston, this state of Texas, this country of the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward—and so will space. William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage. If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space. Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it—we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding. Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation. We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours. There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again.But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? 演讲现场 We choose to go to the Moon! We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too. It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency. In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10 thousand automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field. Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were made in the United States of America and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union. The Mariner spacecraft... (interrupted by applause) the Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the 40-yard lines. Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course. Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs. We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them. And they may be less public. To be sure,... (interrupted by applause) to be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight. But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead. The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school. Technical institutions, such as Rice, will reap the harvest of these gains. And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs. Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city and this state, and this region, will share greatly in this growth. What was once the furthest outpost on the old frontier of the West will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space. Houston, (interrupted by applause) your city of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community. During the next 5 years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to 60 million dollars a year; to invest some 200 million dollars in plant and laboratory facilities; and to direct or contract for new space efforts over 1 billion dollars from this center in this city. To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at 5 billion 400 million dollars a year—a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United States, for we have given this program a high national priority—even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us. But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240 thousand miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25 thousand miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun—almost as hot as it is here today—and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out—then we must be bold. I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute. However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the Sixties. It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university. It will be done during the terms of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform. But it will be done. And it will be done before the end of this decade. And I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America. Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there." Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked. Thank you.

#纪录片 登月 真实素材 严谨 精确 纯干货 无冗余 日常幽默#

24th SIFF IMAX展映场

影片的创作形态本身，就是在致敬阿波罗11号登月任务。

极简，但信息量巨大。

内容方面，在海量素材的支撑下，主创直接让画面和录音资料叙事，看似简单粗糙，实则精巧奢侈。每个任务的关键节点，包括点火、升空、脱落、点火、对接、降落等，几乎都有对应的纪实视频画面素材，音频实录素材更是无死角地覆盖着任务全程。原始素材之外，在需要展示飞行器模拟运行轨道的时候，主创采用了黑白二维动画，幼儿园中班以上就能画出来的那种。

结构方面，按时间顺序进行纯线性叙事，涉及人物部分作出精要补充（生活照片，秒过）。

人物方面，还有什么比全程记录一个人做一件事的细节更能体现人物性格的吗？贯穿任务全程的汇报和对话，展现了宇航员们的性格，严谨、精确、冷静、单纯。

主旨方面，比侯孝贤还客观，片子就记录了登月这件事儿，至于观众领会到的是哪方面，见仁见智就好。

如果有上帝，那么上帝看到人类造出来的任何称之为高科技的东西，都如同三岁小孩捏的彩泥。以上帝的视角来看，这世上本没有所谓的高科技，一切只不过是不同物质和信息的不同组合方式。但这不关键，谁叫我们沉湎其中，并为之感动。那些突破想象力边界，去创造世界的永无止尽的好奇心；那些勇于承担风险，并愿意孜孜不倦努力奋斗的胆量跟毅力；是人类几十万年来，最宝贵的东西。

有和平的环境，任何人都有机会施展自己的才华，去触碰想象力的边界；认知求真，知行合一。这样的社会，才是有希望的社会。
