I too watched the space program when I was younger from the Mercury days through Gemini when they tested docking for the first time and all the way to the last Apollo launch. It was wonderful. Speaking of Gemini, don;t forget to catch the Geminid meteor shower this Dec 14th.
Wanted to drop this note, after watching the vid and reading your notes. Nice job! I WAS alive in 1969 (12 years old) and saw Apollo 11 live. Tremendous. Ditto the DVD set produced by Tom Hanks mentioned below by 'tehStig' -- I have it, is extremely well done.
Im a big fan of Apollo space program and I just bought "From earth to the Moon" miniseries DVD by Tom Hanks. It has 12 parts and you will not regret buying it. You guys shoud get one, its gone down in price.
I am old enough to remember the moon landings, I watched every single one, seeing this as the greatest ever achievement of the human race. Mega-kudos and infinite respect to Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins!
Cool idea!

Not for any of these videos. For my planetary (and lunar) work I use an old Panasonic video camera held afocally to my telescopes eyepiece.
