Today in Group G we pit science fact against science fiction.
A great 8.0/10 documentary against an epic 8.7/10 movie.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON (2007)
Vs

Tough choice. 😬

Being completely impartial here πŸ˜‰, if you haven't seen In the Shadow of the Moon, put it to the top of your list.
Some of the Apollo astros featured are not with us any more, and coupled with the gorgeous soundtrack, it'll get you right in the feels. πŸ‘¨β€πŸš€πŸš€

Final match in Group B and a late afternoon kick off (because I actually have other things to do😁) is two of my personal top 5 against each other.
