Synopsis
On July 20, 1969 America did the impossible. Astronaut Armstrong's left boot sank into the charcoal-like lunar powder as the citizens of Earth held their breath in wonder. They listened in awe as his words resounded through space and time. "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." Four days later, in the midst of the media's frenzied activity aboard the USS Hornet, the space capsule Columbia burned through the earth's atmosphere and SPLASHED DOWN into the Pacific Ocean. UDT/SEAL John Wolfram, a member of the Navy's elite Special Forces and trained in spacecraft recovery, leaped from a Sea King Helicopter into the waves of the Pacific Ocean to become the first person on Earth to greet the astronauts. Despite a difficult childhood, plagued with crushing disappointments and multiple brushes with death, Wolfram dared to reach past his limit. His firsthand experiences are intricately woven into a fascinating period of America's history. Journey with him as he recounts Basic Underwater Demolition Training, the living hell known as the Vietnam War, and the rescue of the Apollo 11 astronauts from the sea. "Splashdown: The Rescue of a Navy Frogman" is an inspiration to all who strive to achieve the impossible and is a remarkable challenge to those who seek inner strength.
