- The Race to the Moon (History Channel)-4 stars on average
The Race to the Moon (History Channel) was a two DVD box set.The first DVD, which was excellent, focused on Gene Krantz and his crew of NASA flight controllers during projects Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.

The music completely overpowers the speech and makes it very difficult to listen to. I don't know why there is a trend to having the sound effects or music to be so much louder than the speech.
It was good to learn of the professionalism and hard work of mission control. The moon missions were incredible achievements, and equally ... Read More
