Rating: - Wonderful History Lesson - SHOULD BE ON DVD
Great documentary of the drama of the Apollo Project as told by those who were there.Everyone should see this video, and hopefully they will put it out on DVD soon as my VHS is getting rusty...

Rating: - Looking for the DVD

Fantastic history of the space program, narrated by Barry Corbin (voice of the late Deke Slayton), but featuring interviews with the men who were there, including Adm.

The companion book is also terrific, goes into much more detail than the movie could ever hope to, even across the best part of four hours.
