Harambe, the 17-year-old gorilla that was shot and killed on Saturday after a 4-year-old boy fell into his Cincinnati Zoo enclosure, is remembered for his intelligent and inquisitive nature. The 450-pound Western Iowland silverback was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, on May 27, 1999 and came to the Cincinnati Zoo in September of 2014. Jerry Stones, the zookeeper who raised Harambe, compared his death to the loss of a family member. "It tore me up, I was very close to him," Stones said during a press conference. "He showed a positive attitude as far as leadership. He nurtured his siblings.

This is a trailer for a great looking documentary called The Last Man on the Moon. It focuses on Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene Cernan. In December of 1972, he returned to the lunar module after two and half days of surface operations on the moon, and no one has returned to the moon since. The doc tells us the story of this momentous final journey. The film features interviews with Cernan, his family, and several other astronauts.
Astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans were the three brave men chosen to fly Nasa's final mission. They have been written up in history books and acknowledged by the space and scientific communities, but have never received the public recognition they truly deserved. Apollo 17's voyage to the moon was the crowning glory of man's lunar exploration. This documentary features spectacular Nasa footage and exclusive interviews with space scientists who worked on the...
