From the Earth to the Moon - Spider ending clip

[slovatt1]

Touching - Rusty knew he was never going to fly as an astronaut again after the space sickness....Frank Borman too.....

[MikeSkanz]

there a place to listen all the episode in streaming ???

[TheKenjimmy]

the music in this episode is amazing

[udongaii]

日本では、「フロム・ジ・アース」、NHKでは、「人類、月に立­つ」・・・最高傑作でした

[Astronautical123]

I shot my toaster once

[Man2Break]

Shit! I forgot my wallet in there!

[Astronautical123]

@Man2Break FUNNY COMMENT 

[whyteay]

He (Schweikart) went into the LM when it was in earth orbit, despite the fact it had no heat shield and so wouldn't have been able to reenter had something gone wrong. An eerie feeling I expect.

[Bearram1]

Great music.

[suckapunkjones]

The hangar at the end was actually the gym at Naval Training Center Orlando. The tore it down right after this was shot.

[mpgingdl]

Why didn't Schweikart ever fly again? Did it have something to do with his illness on Apollo 9?

[Briggie]

@mpgingdl

On his wikipedia page it says "The time Schweickart spent post-flight studying space sickness contributed to his missing assignments on Apollo lunar missions."

That is a little ambiguous, and there is no source. Sometimes what happened was they wanted to be commanders on later missions and a spot doesn't open up (Stafford was the same). McDivitt never flew again either.

[leco109]

In april, 2009, I had the honor to shake hand of Neil Armstrong, in Pensacola, FL.

A gentleman.

[82abnoff]

Music????

[toddsmitts]

I'd love to ask guys like Jim McDivitt or Rusty Schweikhart what they thought of this series (Dave Scott was technical advisor so he might not be the most objective person to ask).

[xTheFormlessOneIGF1]

You know. About 2 years ago, I watched this vid before calling it the night (about 4 in the morning) after studying for a big exam. Getting half of it done would have been a success. I pulled through.

Now I have to ask myself to pull of something big tomarrow. Failurei is not an option.

[S0N0FLIBERTY]

Like any great thing, it must come to an end. We must all let go of our Spider, knowing it is time to move on and pursue bigger and better things, aka our Eagle.

[82abnoff]

At 24, I met Col. Borman. Fuck all of you REMFs.

[S0N0FLIBERTY]

@82abnoff I did too, at 22 but many years later. Stand up, Hook Up.

[predatortheme]

so fucking sad they eagles had to burn up in atmosphere :( .

why didnt they let them parachute back? or let them slow down and chute into atmosphere?

i know its normaly burning cuz of the speed and the friction of the air that limits the falling speed of it. but if the lm was slowed down wouldnt it work then? i mean it is a great ship and it should come into museums :D

[Gore1FL]

all of them burned up, not just the Eagle.. top allow them to survive a re-entry, they would have been too heavy.

[predatortheme]

yes right. I hope the LM eagle comes back in a new (not so much different ) design but it should be way much modern :P

[toddsmitts]

@predatortheme First of all, they're not all called "Eagle". That was the name of the one used for the first landing on Apollo 11. The one we see in this episode LM-3 was named "Spider". The ascent stage of LM-4, which we also see here, was named "Snoopy" and is still intact because it was left in a solar orbit rather than an Earth or lunar orbit, both of which decay much faster.

[thehoaxbuster]

@predatortheme

1) They were jettisoned back onto the moon.

2) A parachute wouldn't slow down a craft in such a low pressure environment. It would be near impossible to slow it down and keep it from speeding up as it reentered.

3) Some unused LEMs are in museums.

[george7378]

This is the clip which literally brought a tear to my eye - I don't know why - at 16 years old, I didn't experience any of this in real life, and I am not an expert on spaceflight at all, but this really touched me. A little more help towards realising that my passion is spaceflight and exploration.

[xTheFormlessOneIGF1]

Thats the sound (background music) that anything is possible.

[emirob86]

What did McDivitt say from min 2.18 to min 2.32?

[dks13827]

listen to me I sound like Tom Kelly.

[wcottee]

Agreed, this was the greatest mini-series ever. Sometimes it seems like, as a country, we have lost the determination of the Apollo era.

[avi8r1]

If we had half the determination of the Apollo era, we'd have made manned landings on every ball of rock in this solar system by now.

[pithie84]

@avi8r1 very very true. whats happened to us...

[WithDoubleBass]

@avi8r1 you should send that to NASA

[PawelK198604]

@avi8r1

I am not an American, but from what I know the U.S. government stopped Apollo program for economic reasons, for the same reason the Soviet Union abandoned its lunar program and focused on a program of manned space stations.

Both the American and the Soviet lunar program created just for political reasons, after Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, the politicians lost interest in it and cut off funding.

[Briggie]

@PawelK198604 A lot of it was due to politics as well. Right after Apollo 15, Nixon was even thinking of axing Apollo 16 and 17, but luckily his advisors convinced him that it would be a bad idea. Nixon wanted to cut funding for Apollo in favor of the shuttle and voyager. Yeah, Apollo was expensive, but we could have made more economic improvements and kept the design. The shuttle was very much over-promised, and since then we have been spinning our wheels in leo.

[WizzRacing]

@Briggie Nobody at NASA at the time wanted the shuttle past the first one. They also did not want to give up the space station it had. They had other idea's that would have reached beyond the moon, that were more cost effective. In the end they were forced to build multiple shuttles and abandon the U.S. space station. All because they had to many countries fighting over how the U.S. should run the space program, because they helped pay for some of it! To many chiefs and no indians syndrome.

[Briggie]

@PawelK198604 Don't get me wrong, the shuttle is great and we learned a lot from it; however it provides very few advantages over an expendable launch system. Thus, ever since then, its the same old story. I was saddened when constellation was cancelled, but was not surprised. Someone puts forth an idea, and it gets axed when the next president comes in, and the cycle continues. Great example of politics fucking shit up. Makes one wonder what we could have done...

[monokhem]

@Briggie Constilation was never going to work, and people knew it at the time. What we could have done is given all of nasa's money to one program. SLS will render the same launch capabilities on a quicker time table and utilizes most of Constilation that had any working hardware without losing the ISS and who knows what else.

All they gave up on was a lunar lander that they hadn't really worked on and a bad family of rockets that weren't working well. Great example of shit getting unfucked.

[A86]

@monokhem - Giving all of NASA's money to one program would be a disaster because NASA provides probably over a hundred vital services to the US (and the entire world actually). SLS is more of a kludge than Constellation became. SLS sucks the air out of the room for platform growth whereas Constellation still leaves room open for growth and wider applications (such as establishing lunar bases and Lagrange Point stations, etc.).

Less time to develop =/= Better

[monokhem]

@A86 Constipation didn't leave the door open for anything. The ISS would have had to have been burned just to make it and then there wouldn't have been any money left to build a lunar base, much less a Lagrange station. Let private industry figure that out and give a price tag. Altair was a farce.

Over 10 years to develop = inferior.

Depending on the Rocket and lander being developed together = inferior.

[A86]

@monokhem - "The ISS would have had to have been burned"

No it wouldn't. All the government would have to do is increase funding a measly $700 million/year to keep it afloat and go ahead with Constellation. The amount of money spent on NASA today is far less than the Apollo Era when we were spending over 2% of US GDP on NASA.

"there wouldn't have been any money left to build a lunar base" You do you know after the Shuttle program ended all future money would go to Constellation?

[monokhem]

@A86 Constilation was more expensive than the shuttle program by a wide margin. Ask NASA why they had to burn the ISS to fund Constipation if you are upset by that reality.

[A86]

@monokhem - Unless Ares eats up in excess of $10 billion/year, which there is no indication it would after the development stage.

"Over 10 years to develop = inferior"

By that logic Apollo was inferior. The time it takes to develop a system is not the determinant of its sophistication. Even critics of the hardware know Ares can be developed faster with a sufficient budget. Not funding a program properly will inflate costs for any program. That's what's happening with Obama's program now.

[monokhem]

@A86 Apollo wasn't designed over ten years.

[A86]

@monokhem - That's why Obama's backpeddling on his plans. Declaring you're going to an asteroid and then having Congress design a rocket (instead of engineers, the SLS is LITERALLY designed by Congressmen, like Ben Nelson) with no function in the meantime and then not funding it isn't a good plan.

"Rocket and lander being developed together = inferior"

A similar thing happened with the Saturn V and the LM before Apollo's budget increased. Do you have an argument besides wordplay with names?

[monokhem]

@A86 The LEM was designed independently from the Saturn 5.

[A86]

@monokhem - Nova would have probably been a quicker launch system to develop than Saturn but would probably be a less efficient system overall with the Apollo program. The Saturn system leaves room open for most adaptations, add-ons, combinations and wider applications.

"and a bad family of rockets that weren't working well"

I'm sorry but that's just downright untrue. The Ares I-X worked virtually perfectly. According to flight telemetry it vibrated less than a Shuttle flight.

[monokhem]

@A86 Ares 1-X was a disaster, and if shaking less that a shuttle is the best endorsement of it you can muster, you know that. It vibrated way to much for it to be expanded into a family of heavy lift vehicles.

[A86]

@monokhem - "Ares 1-X was a disaster"

How in God's name is a virtually perfect flight a "disaster"? And since the Shuttle vibrates well within the limits of toleration for human flight (it vibrates less than the Saturn V in most flights) how is the Ares I-X vibrating less than the Shuttle low standards?

[monokhem]

@A86 because the Ares 1-X was tiny. When they found out how much it vibrated and extrapolated that for the rocket that people would actually ride they found out that nothing worth while could ride on it. This stuff isn't secret. You can go learn about it.

[A86]

@monokhem - You do know the worries about vibration came out a couple of years before the Ares was actually tested? When the Ares I-X actually flew the rocket vibrated about 9 times less than the computer predictions predicted it would. The Ares I-X vibrated a little less than a normal Shuttle flight. The vibration-absorbing springs they created for the rocket turned out to be not necessary.

The info you're going on is very old.

[monokhem]

@A86 They were worried it was going to rattle so much it would fly off course and maybe kill people who knows where. It rattled less than that. It was still to much of a problem, and extrapolated for the full sized rocket the vibrations would have wrecked the cargo, Human bodies included.

The info you are going on is incomplete.

[A86]

@monokhem - Key word: "were". That's an exaggeration as well: Years ago they were worried it would rattle so much that it would be unsuitable for humans, not that it would shake itself apart or fly off course. The Ares I-X test put those fears to rest.

"It was still to much of a problem"

According to whom? According to whom did the Ares I-X vibrate so much that it was unsuitable for humans or "too much of a problem"? NASA hasn't said that.

[A86]

@monokhem - According to NASA the Ares I-X flight shook less than a Shuttle flight. The Shuttle doesn't vibrate too much for cargo (we put cargo on it all the time). Not to mention that if a vehicle doesn't vibrate too much for humans it certainly wouldn't be too much for cargo. Cargo can handle a lot more vibration than a human can. Hence why unmanned rockets are allowed to vibrate at levels that would be too dangerous for humans (like the unmanned Titan and Delta rockets).

[A86]

@monokhem - The Ares V first stage would likely vibrate at unsuitable levels for a human, but it's tolerated because it's not meant to carry humans anyway. The Ares V upper stage shouldn't vibrate more, theoretically, than the Saturn V S-IVB. Given it uses a similar engine and avionics.

You can read about the thrust oscillation results for Ares I-X here:

en (.) wikipedia (.) org / wiki / Ares _ I - X # Thrust _ oscillation

[ikedasquid]

I think you are right on both counts...I hope we haven't peaked as a country.

[xTheFormlessOneIGF1]

@ikedasquid

if their are enough of "us" out there, we will be just fine.

[carloskawak1965]

GRACIAS TOM HANKS.

[dodorichard]

"this one is the Eagle"

sent chills down my spine the first time I heard those lines.

absolutely the best episode of an amazing series.

[coffycup75]

*tears*

Honestly, my favorite miniseries, ever.

[S0N0FLIBERTY]

So long...Spider.

Believe it or not, this clip helped me get over a really bad breakup. Eventually, you have to let go, but remember the good times. There will be other girlfriends, (like there were other LEMs) and each time will get better than the last.

[thehoaxbuster]

hell yes

[camilleri63]

FTETTM was a great series, but I think this was the best episode of of all... especially with that beautiful music, I'm glad I watched it alone because I found myself getting all teary-eyed at some scenes :X

[S0N0FLIBERTY]

Actually, my favorite episode is "Gallileo was Right". maybe tied with :Spider" and "1968". each had thier little scenes. But I love in "GWR" when Dave Scott talks to the professor as he looks out the hatch window at the moon.

[Submariner75]

Yeah, GWR was the best. I also liked the last one, especially when Cernan drew his daughter's name on the moon.

[PassiveSmoking]

@camilleri63 I loved this episode. My other faves were Apollos 12 and 15.

[sporefan1000]

My god This is the Best Series EVER And this has to be my favorite episode XD p.s. Does anyone Know how to get the music it is so Nice I teared up at the of the end of this episode....

[Toyotomi]

Great series. Worth getting on DVD if you haven't seen it.

[EndeavourLaunch]

Man, is there anyway to watch this online?

[thehoaxbuster]

buy the dvd. I've owned it for a year and watched it all the time and still can't get enough of it!

[Seanamon78]

Actually the headgear was affectionately called a 'snoopy cap.'

[jerryaltman]

Was the head protector (dark and white/ begining of the video) design by Disney? Looks like Mickey Mouse.

[shanghaiwolf]

If anyone wants the track for "Spider/Eagle" let me know.

[atreides73]

Shanghaiwolf

Yes, Can i have the "Spider/eagle track

[8124817S]

1:47, So long Spider. . . So sad. ;-(

[BasserPeti]

"This one is the Eagle..." :))))

[tms5018]

Episode 5 is the best. I love Mason Daring's music.

[csoss]

I want to get all the episodes:P...Can I download from somerwhere free of charge?

[f1gonza]

My girlfriend gave me the complete collection as a christmas present. I love this series!

[NNJ007]

No. Buy the DVD's

[jorge098]

Hi !

What's the music ?

[CusterApollo]

The music is by Mason Daring. I believe he is a composer.

[shanghaiwolf]

contact me, i have it

[leeneelson]

Where did you find it? I would be interested.

Ken

[cloudedsky56]

Is there any place where you can get this song and/or the sheet music for it??

This is the best series ever. I found this in my dad's study a couple year's back. My dad was an Apollo nut, and I think him and I can agree that this is the BEST depiction of Apollo EVER.

[toddsmitts]

Agreed, but actually there isn't much else at all. There is, of course, the wonderful "Apollo 13", but little else. "The Right Stuff" was supposed to be about the Mercury program but really just worships Chuck Yeager for 2 hours. None of the Mercury astronauts were too impressed with that movie, and neither was I.

[TheRadical42]

100 Snazzes on the 100 point Snazz-o-Scale!

-Perfection! Thank you so much for posting this. I do have the DVD set, and watch it at least once a year. I do think it's one of the greatest series ever shown on television. The music is wonderful.

-I bought the soundtrack and was disappointed; no Spider music. Just pop tunes, and the opening and closing themes. (which are great.)

-I too tear up in this one. And the Apollo 1 Fire episode. And the final moon mission episode.

[TheIncredibleKrunk]

I met the Apollo 15 pilot Al Worden

[toddsmitts]

Did you ask him what he thought of the mini-series?

[TheIncredibleKrunk]

No, I met him in 05 before the series came out I think

[toddsmitts]

The series aired in 1998. It was available on tape as well. Most libraries probably had it.

[toddsmitts]

Did you ask him what he thought of this mini-series?

[TheIncredibleKrunk]

No but I should've

[jrmurph]

This is my favorite episode from the miniseries. I actually started to tear up a little at the end.

A great miniseries.

[Datan0de]

Hell yes. I've seen the whole series multiple times and I end up teary-eyed during this episode and the Apollo 1 fire every time.

This series is some of the best television I've ever seen. Even though it's a dramatization I think it should be required viewing in schools.

[TheRadical42]

The series has so many teary moments. During the Apollo 1 Fire, when we see "Stormy" crying by himself in his den. When Pat White comes home to find Janet Armstrong waiting for her with bad news. This episode. I also tear up at the Final Episode. When the last step on the moon is made. When Edison steals the Moon Movie. When they show the abandoned moon landing sites. When they show pictures of the real astronauts and their missions.

-Ah me. Television at its best!

[Nerroth]

"When I first saw the LEM, I thought 'you gotta be kidding!'... but it kinda grows on you.

It really is a beautiful machine."

And how.

Listen to me, I sound like Jim McDivitt sounding like Tom Kelly!

[brychelle73]

Last June, I had the pleasure of meeting and actually eating with the real Rusty S. We talked alot about his one mission. How I wish I could go up there at least one time!!

[joshatkins94]

Awesome.

[toddsmitts]

Did you ask him what he thought of this mini-series?

[Seamonkey555]

@brychelle73  You"re so lucky!!

[delpiero47]

Some of it was boring, but there were great great inspiring moments. Spider certainly was one of the greatest. The pride in the machine, that baseball... also the geological one, and the best was "you saved 1968" one...

[DickJohnson3434]

I don't understand all the praise. I thought this series was a huge disappointment. Apollo 13 was absolutely fantastic but this series just seemed labored.  I was as big a space nut as there was and I still taped every episode off HBO when it came out, but was instantly let down.

The series did have some great moments and some great character actors (the Frank Borman and Jim McDivit actors looked just like them).

Notice Bulldog from Frasier as Gene Kranz? The Apollo 13 episode BLEW.

[DickJohnson3434]

I will say this.

Apollo 12 was a great episode. Apollo 15 was great. This episode was excellent.

The first one sucked. Apollo 16 was dreadful. Apollo 8 was way too student filmish, but had its moments. Apollo 7 was different but cool in a way. Apollo 11 was OK but still a let down. Apollo 14 was decent but the Al Shephard guy drove me nuts how he kept yelling "OKAY!".

Apollo 17 was a neat little recap with old people make up. I liked Emmet Seaborn.

[DickJohnson3434]

I was a little harsh on the series. Apollo 13 was my favorite movie growing up and I guess only compared to that, was this series a huge disappointment. It's great to have a series that documented nearly the whole project, but I found all the memorable moments they tried to dramatize, they never really accomplished what they set out to do. I bet Tom Hanks feels similarly.

[DickJohnson3434]

I recommend the documentary "Moonshot".

It's a two hour documentary that is pretty damn exciting at times. Some of the coolest moments (like Gemini 8 spinning out of control, Apollo 11 landing, 13 recovery, and the entire mercury project) are brought to life in an amazing way for a documentary.

In fact one of the reasons the Apollo 11 landing in From Earth to the Moon was such a let down to me was because the Moonshot presentation (with the real audio and video) was so much cooler.

[joshatkins94]

It certainly wasn't what I'd expected, but it was better than I'd expected. The Apollo 13 episode wasn't all that good, the Astronauts' Wives episode wasn't either (although it was important to include this, they had a hard time which should be respected). I loved the first episode. Apollo 1 was particularly moving. Apollo 7 was quite cool, an insight into the launch operations, etc. Loved Apollo 8, Spider, 11 was ok, 12 was really cool, 14 a little boring, 15 good in its way, 17 pretty cool.

[joshatkins94]

I learned a lot. I knew nothing about Gemini 8 or Apollo 9, and little about the Apollo 1 fire. I didn't realize how close the N-1 came. I knew that Surveyor 3 was found on Apollo 12, but nothing else. I didn't know much about the LEM, or how unlikely lunar orbit rendezvous was thought to be. I didn't know about the geology on Apollo 15, except the finding of the Genesis Rock.

"We want people to come away from each episode saying 'I had no idea that went on'." Tom Hanks, mission accomplished.

[DickJohnson3434]

I think Band of Brothers was to Saving Private Ryan what From the Earth to the Moon should have been to Apollo 13.

[joshatkins94]

Okay; I haven't seen that movie, but I just thought I'd say this (IMHO): this short clip really is a demonstration of why this series got the praise it did.

[DickJohnson3434]

Yeah, this was a great episode.

[Kvartet]

both by HBO

[toddsmitts]

I disagree about some of these. I thought the first episode was great. Shepard's Mercury flight was rousing, Ed White spacewalk was touching, Gemini 8 was great drama, and the launch of Gemini 12 was bittersweet.

You found the Apollo 8 one "student filmish" compared to the Apollo 7 one?

The Apollo 13 and 16 were indeed a letdown, but on 13, they were screwed anyway since they couldn't just rehash the movie. As for 16, that was indeed dull. What about one showing the Russian POV instead?

[CusterApollo]

I actually thought Apollo 16 was done well. The story of the wives and families had to be told at some point. And it was directed by Sally Field. A good choice for the episode.

[toddsmitts]

The wives is an interesting story. I just don't think it should've been at the expence of the Apollo 16 mission itself.

[toddsmitts]

Interestingly, David Andrews, who played Borman in the series, played Pete Conrad in the movie (even though he's way too tall and looks nothing like Conrad). Connor O'Farrell (McDivitt) has been in a lot of other stuff. (He was the evil undersheriff McKeen who killed Warrick on CSI!)

As for the Apollo 13 episode, they were kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. They couldn't rehash the movie but little else would have seemed interesting.

[toddsmitts]

It's kind of a shame that Apollo 10 got such a pitifully brief showing. 26 seconds! I counted. Apollo 16 got the short end of the stick too so they could focus an episode on the astronauts' wives.

[adilio31]

its a nice feeling that the lem was built 5 min from my house.

[nasaboy51]

This is by the far best episode of the series. But i also like episode 1 too...Good video man, thanks...

[thehoaxbuster]

This is by far the greatest episode of the greatest tv (educational) series to be produced. Beautiful.

[RTSiciliano]

What happened to the Apollo 8 clip from this series?

[thehoaxbuster]

It was removed.

[RTSiciliano]

Why was it removed?

[happyness1957]

My favorite part of the series is the ending in this episode...so touching, great music, really captures the spirit of the time! Thanks!

[Templemain]

YOU Americans! you can Hollywood script anything to be warm, touchy, feely. But under that facade you truly are a GREAT nation. Don't let any one tell you different but don't spread it around. There are many in the world who would destroy you simply because of envy of misguided trust.

[EATPROTEINgetHUGeRus]

truly a great scene

[Docbrown777]

It's so sad because it is like the guy was the LM's father, but then he sent his son to be abandoned in orbit. Talk about bad parenting.

[Docbrown777]

So did they land on the moon or not? How does it end?

[AgentXnine]

The Apollo 9 mission was just to test the LEM.

It just orbited the Earth.

[arc2589]

great music i wish i could buy it somewhere. this was my favorite episode too.

[cy547]

The music from this clip is available on the composers web site: masondaring<dot>com/credits.ph­p

[simonwilliams1415]

gay gay gay

[sgtpepper1138]

you're coming out????? that takes a lot of courage

[jc851]

wow amazing scene...this was a great miniseries, highly underrated. All the elements are working together here...the music, actors, effects, dialogue.

[joshatkins94]

Underrated? It got an Emmy and a Golden Globe. But, then, this is an awe-inspiring series, so I guess you can never properly rate it ;).

[lordtau]

This one and the Apollo 12 episode were the best ones. Dang, I wish I was around in the 60s/70s to experience this!!

[joshatkins94]

I'd bet money the next 50 years of space will be just as, if not more, incredible.

[youarthurhu]

"this one is the eagle" Made it all worth growing up in the 60s.

[Raptor33]

dude i though this was a trip..but its really gay

[NightFalcon87]

This is history. So you r the only one who is gay.

[NecrosisOfLight]

it's the trescendental experience. It embodies the fuastian spirit of man, and satisifies our deepest desire for exploration.

IT IS TEH AW3SOME

[cyberapox]

My fav. ep

[CusterApollo]

Actually have watched it several times. You did a good job on it.

[JainaMac]

I love this episode. I have several "favorite episode"s--who can pick just one? I made a silly tribute to the series, using clips from the "making of" featurette. I guess only big fans of FTETTM will find it funny. Hope you'll watch it!

[CusterApollo]

Aother good episode was "The First Wives Club." A cool look into something different, the wives of the astronauts. Directed by Sally Field, a good friend of Tom Hanks.

[Squamata2468]

She was his "momma" in Forrest Gump.

[toddsmitts]

Tom also played Sally's love interest in an earlier movie called "Punchline".

And for the record, the episode was called "The ORIGINAL Wives Club". "First Wives Club" is a movie.

And it's a shame that Apollo 16 got such a short showing so they could focus on the wives.

[CusterApollo]

Good stuff. Too bad they won't release the score from this miniseries. The music done by the individual composers was sone of the best I ever heard.

[CusterApollo]

Great stuff! Too bad they won't sell the score of the miniseries. The music done by the individual composers for each episode was some of the best I ever heard. One of my favorite music sections is from part 6. The music when the Apollo 11 astronauts are walking to the van before the launch is amazing.

[Squamata2468]

Great ending line - "This one is the Eagle." The end of the Apollo 11 episode, with Armstrong's first step, is also really well done.

[EATPROTEINgetHUGeRus]

this was really an amazing series....this clip is a very nice tribute

[CessnaDriver2]

An excellent series.

We're going back.

"Audentes Fortunas Juvat"

[mmarti79]

From my very favorite episode. Hope it's like this for those building Project Orion!

[whitesquall2]

I hope I live to see a man on Mars...this miniseries was and still is inspiring.

[UB2009]

Mankind will never be whole unless it is constantly peering over the horizon. The moon was, and must be, only a beginning. Let's stop orbiting and just go.

[fgalue]

The Best ever TV miniseries about the Proyecto Apollo to the Moon. I wish more scenes or memorables events of the remarkable miniserie.
