Lest anyone reflect this is the same musty myth of the moon shot, “One Petite Step For Mankind” and all that, Nova’s “To The Moon” is actually two bewitching hours of many of the stories that have been overlooked about man’s hasten to the moon. Few people know about the man who advocated the scheme of move, called Lunar-Orbit Rendezvous, or why he was unpopular even after his contribution led to man getting to the moon. Few people know why Kennedy vaguely said we should gather a man to the moon “by the destroy of the decade.” Few people know the history of the Gemini program, lost between the Tom Wolfe heroics of Mercury and the Frigid War glories of Apollo. Few people know about the later astronauts–in fact, how many people can name an astronaut after the Apollo 11 crew? (If you saw “Apollo 13″ this might not be as hard.) The clips of the last mission on the moon, with happy-go-lucky geologist Harrison Schmidt dancing around digging for moonrocks, is worth the label of the DVD alone. Highly recommended as an educational tool as well as a fun hobble. Public schools would be wise to screech kids history in this absorbing draw.
Nova should be commended for producing this beneficial documentary. The notable decisions, such as the choice of Lunar Orbit Rendezvous, are covered in a comprehensible yet comprehensive manner. The background of Apollo, especially in the now almost forgotten Gemini program, is covered, as are the evolution of the Saturn launchers, CSM, and LM.
A natural focus of the DVD are the Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 missions, which are covered in some detail, but other less memorable yet significant (i.e., the ‘Genesis rock’, the Apollo 13 advance danger, etc.) areas are covered thoughtfully as well.
The editing and apt accuracy is absolutely worthy, and the overall value is unbeatable. If you only have one documentary on the Apollo program, produce it this one.
