Tom Hanks has predicted that the first woman and non-white man from the US will step on to the moon in the next ‘three to four years’. 

Ahead of the opening, Tom told the PA news agency: ‘Sometime within the next, let’s be charitable, three to four years… the first woman is going to step foot on the surface of the moon, as well as the first non-white American male. That is as equal and evolutionary place for humankind as Neil Armstrong was in 1960.’

With co-writer Christopher Riley, a Bafta nominated writer and director, Tom brings to life Apollo missions also using Nasa footage and images from Andy Saunders’ photographic book Apollo Remastered in the show.

Christopher said throughout Tom’s career he has tried to ‘promote human spaceflight and space exploration as a really positive, powerful endeavour’.

He also said: ‘This whole chapter in human history, both 50 years ago, and what we’re repeating today really does bring out the best in humanity and at a time when things are pretty dark out there.

‘This is a good news story, that was really my positive take on it.’

Tom also recalled seeing rocks gathered by ‘legends’ and astronauts Armstrong and David Scott at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Nasa’s Johnson Space Centre in Texas that point to physical evidence of water on the moon.

He said: ‘If there’s physical evidence of water on the roof, that might have been there as actual water on the moon and if that’s the case, that is a game changer for all of humankind and that’s what we learned.’

He also said the fascination is about our ‘innate natural curiosity’.

Tom added: ‘What is astounding, I think, to both of us is that we came of age, when humankind became a space theory species, we now go into space.

‘So on one hand, it’s commonplace but on the other hand, it is an endless frontier up there that is loaded with great mysteries, treasures (which) is going to be one of the greatest puzzles that everybody gets to work on solving for generations.’

The experience has been co-directed by Nick Corrigan and Lysander Ashton of 59 Productions and features an original orchestral score by Canadian composer Anne Nikitin
