I didn't see this in time for PBS Space Time asks 'Why Is The World Rushing Back To The Moon?' for National Moon Day 2024. Maybe next year.

I used CNN's video for Starliner, Starship, and Chang'e, a week of good space news instead.

I might use this for Asteroid Day, but it didn't fit NASA experts answer questions about asteroids for Apophis Day.

I used a different video in Seeker and Vintage Space look back at Apollo 17 and ahead to Artemis for Moon Day that focused more on canceled Apollo missions at the end of the program instead of missing missions early in the program.

This NASA video didn't focus enough on the Artemis II crew, so I used one that did for Stephen Colbert interviews the Artemis II crew for Yuri's Night.

I rejected the following video for 2022 has been another great year in space because I had too many already. Space was a popular topic this year!

I replaced the following video with another that had a description about the film instead of the streaming service for 'Good Night Oppy' wins five Critics Choice Documentary Awards.

Watching the first two videos I used in Apollo 15 and 16 and the Lunar Rover 50 years later for Moon Day 2022 reminded me of this video from Amy Shira Teitel of The Vintage Space.

I replaced the following video with a shorter one from after the launch instead of before it for Vox explains 'What Russia's war means for the International Space Station' plus DART and Artemis updates.

The following video didn't fit one of the themes of Neil deGrasse Tyson on the 'Billionaire Space Race', Dr. Tyson's take on the event.

I decided against using the following video in Apollo 14 50 years later for Moon Day 2021 as it was more about Amy Shira Teitel's tweets than about the mission.

I rejected the following image for NASA and '60 Minutes' on women in NASA for International Women's Day because I wanted to focus on women in NASA, not just women in space.

I wrote "Seeker has videos on Apollo 14-17 as well, but I'm saving them for the next two Moon Days. After all, I'm an environmentalist, so I don't just recycle, I conserve my resources" in Seeker on Apollo 9-12 for Moon Day 2020. This is one of the videos I was referring to.


Apollo 14 conducted more scientific exploration of the Moon than any mission before it, and discoveries from the trip would eventually shape a new understanding of our celestial neighbor.

I considered adding the following video to NASA's 'Apollo 13: Home Safe' for the 50th anniversary of a 'successful failure', but I decided the NASA documentary could stand on its own.


When an explosion shutdown the main Apollo 13 spacecraft, NASA was put on the edge of a catastrophic disaster. Mission Control had to figure out how to get the astronauts home or they’d be stranded in space.
