Rocket Men: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Set in 1968 – the year of the Tet offensive, the assassinations of MLK and RFK and the Chicago DNC riots, Rocket Man tells the true story of the Apollo 8 mission as a stark example of what America was capable of in a time of dramatic violence and discord. The series focuses on the three astronauts of the Apollo 8 crew and their families, presenting a vivid, gripping narrative that shows anew how much danger was involved – and how much bravery it took – for man to travel away from Earth.
