I had high hopes for PBS America's Moon Shots, but I'm afraid it was woeful. Many of the "HD movie sequences" were digitally manipulated still images, and there came a point, I think by Apollo 14, when I was shouting at the screen: "Wrong mission footage!!"
This is the complete story of NASA's Moon Missions, from Apollo 1 to Apollo 17, told for the first time using 4K and HD original footage taken by astronauts from the most iconic space voyages in history.
The world famous Apollo missions are some of the greatest feats ever accomplished by man. With rare archive footage and unprecedented access to life on board the Apollo spacecrafts, this stunning one-hour special brings scientific history to life. We witness the heart-stopping moments when a mission and the lives of astronauts are put in jeopardy, and meet the quick-thinking scientists who rescued them from the brink of disaster. This is the story of those who conquered the impossible through ingenuity to open new frontiers of human discovery.
From giant leaps to tragic set backs, this film pays tribute to the extraordinary history of space travel.
