GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

It is incredible. They found and sync'd the audio from the experts and specialists, through to mission control, through to the Apollo capsule.

Armstrong's landing on the moon has always been amazing; 16 seconds of fuel remaining. The idea that he was getting warning messages and alarms which were trained as an ABORT scenario up to two weeks before the mission, flew through those on the assurance of experts on the ground, then flew around a football field sized crater, to set down (with a drift rate which is appreciated when you see how he dragged a probe through the Moon dust) to landing is a real feat of piloting skill. For those of you who like formation flying, his ability to whip a spaceship around and stop it on a dime is eye watering. Dude could drive.... .

I've always thought the approach to the moon as particularly interesting. Nobody at the upper levels of Mission Control knew what the warnings were and neither did those on the capsule. Somebody can wiki-search the guy who knew. To hear his voice, sync'd to the events as they played out and how fast it worked it's way up the COC to the Moon ... wow these folks were sharp ... and saved a multi billion dollar mission with the whole World watching.

Which brings me to another point about this movie. The people on the ground are usually left out of any documentary. In this, seeing the people camping out, being ordinary families to witness and incredible event in the history of mankind, gave a lot of relevance to my kids. Yes, this was a BIG DEAL.

With a missed green-slip, tickets and food, the movie cost me something like $3,300. Can't believe I'm writing this but, worth every penny.
