Reason: Given that the Canadian Space Agency, along with NASA, is about to launch the ARTEMIS II Mission, sending a Canadian to circle the Moon for the first time ever in history, this movie can provide an insight into what can go wrong but also demonstrates the level of expertise and leadership that is required to conclude a successful mission to Earth's closest celestial neighbour
