Shop For From the Earth to the Moon - The Signature Edition

No, it's not perfect. Yes, some episodes could perhaps have been better. But given that the Gemini and Mercury programs were covered in The Right Stuff, and Apollo 13 was covered in the movie of the same name, it does an excellent job of demonstrating the heroism and engineering marvel that was the Apollo program. It covers all aspects, from the astronauts, to their wives, to the engineers, to the administrators. Special effects are wonderful, the individual astronauts are portrayed with great faithfulness, and each mission is approached uniquely and with fresh insight. While some could look at Apollo 12 and 14-17 and think they're all pretty much the same, this series not only makes each crew and mission unique, it also brings attention to the previously unheralded missions that led up to Apollo 11, save the Apollo 8 mission. My only criticism is the relatively sparse attention paid to Apollo 10. But this one criticism aside, if you're a fan of or interested at all in the men, both astronauts and engineers, as well as their families, that made history and put men on the moon -- this is well worth the money. I sadly doubt we'll ever see any endeavor as amazing, historical, heroic or inspiring as the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs again.Get more detail about From the Earth to the Moon - The Signature Edition.
