When I got back from Vietnam on August 1968, I was fortunate enough to get a job at John F. Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, Florida! I was hired by ITT/Federal Electric Corp. as a Electronic Tech. in Communications. I was on the Apollo/Saturn Launch Team for most of the Moon shots! I was 22 yrs old and I was so proud to be a part of the effort, that beat the Soviet Union to the Moon! I wish that I could turn back the clock and relive those moments in history! That was about 52 years ago, now I’m almost 74 years old- sometimes it seems like yesterday! It’s amazing how time seems to fly by so quickly! May God continue to Bless our great Nation, and help NASA to once again travel to the Moon and beyond! 👍🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏👍

DOCTOR Van Allen was a very approachable lecture professor at the University of Iowa. Anyone could approach him after one of his lectures and ask him about this sort of thing. Funny thing, none of the 'Apollo doubters' ever did, according to him. He was very very open about his disdain for the people who would misuse his name for conspiracy theories, and continue to do so after his death.

Best documentary I've ever seen on the lunar program. As an amateur space geek, I've watched a bunch of them. This one was the best. No propaganda, no BS. Just a solid well told story.😎

Roger Chaffees parents wow.. that bit really choked me up big time. Obviously heartbroken but you could see how proud they were of him. RIP

Thank goodness for John Houbolt's persistence and determination.

John Houbolt, Werner Von Braun, the mercury/gemini/apollo astronauts, the NASA engineers and everyone who made it possible to land men on the moon are real heroes and shows why American ingenuity has made the USA is the greatest nation on earth. They all deserve medals for their above and beyond the call of duty service to this country.

Reading from Genesis was the most appropriate thing anyone could do. Perfect

[buckshot]

Lovell and Bormann are quite the pair! Two of my favorite Apollo-era astronauts. A perfect Gemini, and Apollo 8 team; Bill Anders completed that ensemble.

I've always been fascinated by this stuff. I met Jim Lovell when I was in college in 1995. His story is amazing even though he never walked on the moon. The Apollo program shows what the human race is capable of when it is focused and determined. Apollo is one of the greatest if not the greatest triumphs in human history.

Now THIS is a documentary of....If not the BEST I've ever seen!

[Buzzboxrd]

A beautiful epic story of what man Can achieve if really put to the test, everyone involved in the Apollo program are heroes to me .

Thank you very much for uploading this. I first saw this documentary almost 20 years ago, recorded it and burned it on a CD, which I eventually lost. The most fascinating and unforgetable documentary about the space race.

What those incredibly brave men did back then stands testament to mans curiosity.
We stand on the shoulders of giants today with technology that they never had.
The whole of my life has been as a result of them.
Mere words cannot grasp my gratitude for them.
For all of them, and the future ones..
I humbly thank you.

I want to go for a pint with Jim Lovell... he’s like everyone’s favourite happy grandfather.

This is a really good doc: no BS, just the story told by the people who did it.

Just got back from the Apollo 11 50th celebration of the manned moon landing at KSC. I have become a space history fanatic and a annual pass member to the KSC. This video was absolutely one of the best I have seen on the technical achievements leading up to the manned moon landing. It had some great footage of the interviews and gathering of Borman, Lovell and Anders.

[cronistamundano]

I've seen this now maybe one hundred times. It never fails to amaze me the coolness of Sttaford and Cernan. "Is it going to snare with what's left of Cernan?", and Cernan acknowledging that it was the way to go... these guys were brave.
And whatsmore they flew toghether again in Apollo 10!

This was America at its best. How far we have fallen. We would never be able to pull this off now.

My dad, uncle, and grandfather were all North American Aviation, then later Rockwell men in SoCal...I grew up in the 1960s and was just so proud that all my family were working on the space program...Everyone back then wanted to be an astronaut...

[williamb]

i feel genuinely grateful to live in the same world as these men and women

[paulcarter]

ONE OF THE BEST DOCUMENTARY'S I HAVE EVER SEEN...
