Rating: - A must see!
This is a must see! The filming is amazing...camera angels that I've never seen before. Narrated by the former astronauts themselves so we hear it from their perspective. Wonderful.
Rating: - Not Just "Entertainment" But A Historical Document
Words almost fail me in trying to describe how good, and more so, important this historical document really is. This was a very rare appearance of every living astronaut who walked on the surface of the Moon (with the notable absence of the first, Neil Armstrong) including Gene Cernan,Jack Schmitt, John Young, Charlie Duke, Dave Scott,Ed Mitchell, Alan Bean and Buzz Aldrin. In addition, Jim Lovell, the only man to travel twice to the Moon without landing (Cernan and Young also went twice) as ... Read More
Rating: - Can watch it over and over again

I'm so glad that somebody thought ... Read More
Rating: - A must-see
Poignant, bittersweet, touching, human, and endearing. If you grew up, like I did, watching the space program, then those are the emotions you will feel. I had images of these crew-cutted young explorers.....and now they are thoughtful, intelligent, and subtly-wistful.......old men.
But, it's not maudlin or heavy. It's a celebration. A reflection. And, Michael Collins just steals the show (and provides marvelous impish balance and relief) with his informed, direct, self-deprecating humor. It's ... Read More
