| A great DVD, but get both this and the Apollo 13 one |
I liked this DVD a lot, and would definitely recommend you get it if you like space and marvel at how great our country's space program was. Wow, we sure had smart people in America back then.
That said, I watched this video after I had watched the Apollo 13 DVD, the one with real life dialog with Gene Krantz and Jim Lovell. That DVD is a definite 5 stars because of the dialog, the graphics and real pictures from that time. So my recommendation, get them both. You'll be proud of America again. |

| In the Shadow of the Moon |
In the Shadow of the Moon: A Challenging Journey to Tranquility, 1965-1969 (Outward Odyssey: A People's History of S)
This DVD is worth every penny as it shows the Shuttle Generation what the Mercury /Gemini/Apollo astronauts did to plant the flag on the moon , how we went and why we went. I rate this as a valuable part of any Homeschoolers DVD library |

| A new angle .. an awesome additon for the avid NASA collector. |
I am an avid collector of NASA dvds and information. I love this dvd because it explores a whole new angle. The only people who are interviewed are the Apollo astronauts. They all talk in detail about how they felt as the flew their missions. There are tons of crystal clear images of the missions .. many of which I have never seen before. The music is beautiful and really adds to the experience.
Overall, my favorite NASA dvd is the Nova "To The Moon", but this might overtake that. Very heartfelt. I now love Michael Collins, almost as much as my hero, Jim Lovell. The only negative thing about this dvd is the glaring non-participation of Neil Armstrong. Why he wouldn't want to be part of this amazing project is a mimystery.
I highly recommend this dvd to anyone. Add it to your collection. |

| watching with James |
I watched all these events in my thirties and wondered what my 8 year old grandson James would make of it.He is into any space type programmes but his response to this showed in real excitement and awe.It also made me relive the time and I felt after the film as i did 40 years ago if I was not a Brit I would settle for being an American What real Supermen! |
