As a long-term aerospace nerd I've read everything I could get my hands on and watched tons of documentaries on space exploration. I'd never have thought one could condense the Apollo Program into a one-hour presentation and touch on any meaningful portion of the story. You've managed it, though, with a great overview that hits all the milestones, covers the challenges and mishaps, acknowledges the contribution of those on the ground as well as the astronauts, and places the program in not only a technical but also a social and historic context. Brilliant!

I remember seeing this live on Xmas Eve in 1968. My grandmother was ready to go with us to Xmas Eve church services. However, she lost her balance and nearly fell and almost broke her hip. I grabbed her arms and held onto her, called out to my parents and brothers for help. We decided not to go and placed her health and safety first. She was my buddy and role model and did not die until August of 1971 from natural causes.
She witnessed many important historical events between the years of her birth in 1887 until her death in 1971, including the Apollo 11 Moon landing in July of 1969, us kids being born and growing up, the Civil Rights Movement, school integration and so many other interesting historical events. She loved history and it was her love of reading and learning that led to many of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to succeed in life. She is still missed by many family members today.

I have watched dozens of documentaries about Apollo and had no idea Apollo 12 had been struck by lightning on liftoff. So cool how that was resolved quickly by a confident controller.
There were several other tidbits in this I didn’t know before - of course the best producers of historical content on the internet crushed it again. Bravo.

12:30 The moments describing the Mighty Saturn 5 rocket were fantastic!

We hope you enjoy this dramatic and information-packed account of humankind's first step beyond Planet Earth. My bet would be that long after the great conflicts and upheavals of the 20th century are forgotten, this will be the moment that is still remembered in a thousand years time! Thanks once again to James Malcolm for his stunning editing, visual design and animation throughout the series.
