- NASA missions as told by the Astronauts
This is a collection of many of NASA mission documentation, such as photos and films, with the verbal comments of the astronauts that flew them. It covers all the major space flights, starting with the X-15 and Mercury, and ends with the latest Shuttle mission to the International Space Station. It also includes very rare interviews with astronauts that are not seen publicly but were part of NASA's history. My favorites were Neil Armstrong on the X-15 and John Young on the Columbia Space Shuttle. ... Read More
Rating: - Incredible!
This might be the most extraordinary documentary I've ever seen; the original archive footage is vivid, and it's especially clear when you play the DVDs on a large screen. The interviews add special insight into what the people involved with NASA's beginnings have really accomplished. For me, the most moving segments were the ones depicting the Apollo moon landings and struggles of the space shuttle program. For anyone with an interest in space exploration or engineering, I would highly recommend ... Read More

- BEWARE, this is NOT the 4 disc version with bonus content
When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions is a great production done by the Discovery Channel on the early years of NASA to today. It has great interviews of the surviving astronauts and members of mission control and NASA. The films and footage from the all the missions and flight tests are great.
The series on TV was so great, I decided that instead of just recording it off the dish, I bought the DVD set. Even though the DVDs had no playing problems or defects, after putting the DVD in the ... Read More
Rating: - Two reasons to buy this DVD
The first reason to buy this DVD has already been covered in other reviews.The picture is superior to previous NASA documentaries.
The second reason is that the makers of the film somehow managed to get Neal Armstrong to contribute on screen commentary of his experiences on both Gemini 8 and Apollo 11.His commentary ends when program gets to the part where he begins his historic first walk on the Moon.Still, it is great to finally see him in a documentary of this type.
Rating: - Fantastic Documentary
This is a great complement to "From the Earth to the Moon" and even more can be learned about the space program with this series.FtEttM, while based on actual events is not a documentary, and actors portray the real guys....In this series, the real guys are here to tell the story.
I was AMAZED at the ton of new footage and the quality of the film that was remastered into High Def.Excellent stuff.
