From the Earth to the Moon

When this mini-series was first shown, I was blown away. Being a manned space flight junkie and having devoured everything literature had to offer, including Andrew Chaikin’s brilliant book, this program was IT! To finally have a digital version... If you haven’t seen this and “space” is your thing, just get it. It’s brilliantly performed. The direction is perfect. Each episode is AAA movie quality. If I had a job where promoting this show was my role, I’d do it for free. Enjoy!

Get ready for mans greatest Adventure. Made in the late 90’s but still looks great today, made with such passion and care . If your a Space aficionado , then buy this as I absolutely brilliant. Good Price too. Well done I tunes on Releasing for the 50th Anniversary

The best acted and best scored series telling of mans adventure to the moon comes to Itunes. This is a must see for all space fans and tells the thrilling story as if you were there. 10/10

This series speaks well for itself. To the jaded it may feel guilty of many things: Romanticism, idealism, patriotism (or jingoism, if you insist), but even if that were true it presents a series of stories that have never been told before. Perhaps in a hundred years the quaintness and primitiveness of what had to be done to visit our nearest neighbour, the moon, might be seen as amusing instead of inspiring - but, I doubt it. See if you don't walk away feeling a little better after watching an episode or two, or all twelve. I dare you. And don't think if you've seen Apollo 13 that you've seen it all. This series even makes the stories of the guys who built the lunar lander, the geologists who studied the moon rocks, and the wives of the astronauts as appealing and fulfilling as the triumphs and tragedies that are better known. An amazing cast stunning special effects and 12 truly enjoyable stories. The twelve episodes follow the Apollo space program from a variety of viewpoints: (1) "Can We Do This?" maps the origins of Apollo and its Mercury and Gemini roots; (2) "Apollo 1" tells of the tragic fire and the subsequent finger-pointing; (3) "We Have Cleared the Tower" portrays the intense preparation for Apollo 7; (4) "1968" puts Apollo 8 into its historical context against events of the era; (5) "Spider" shows the engineering POV through the design, building, and testing of the LEMs with Apollos 9 and 10, (6) "Mare Tranquilitatis" shows the deeper considerations behind the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing; (7) "That's All There Is" portrays the camaraderie of the Apollo 12 crew; (8) "We Interrupt This Program" shows a by-now-indifferent media galvanized by the events of Apollo 13; (9) "For Miles and Miles" tells of Alan Shepherd's return to the manned program with Apollo 14 after being grounded between Mercury and Gemini; (10) "Galileo Was Right" show the non-piloting demands on the Apollo 15 astronauts as they train in lunar field geology; (11) "The Original Wives Club" gives the female POV through the wives of the New Nine; and (12) "La Voyage Dans La Lune" brings things full circle by contrasting Georges Méliès's vision and drive in creating his 1902 film with Apollo 17 and the Apollo program's close. Episode 5 is considered the best, however, I prefer episode 1. And if you want to feel the tug on the heart strings Episode 2 is for you.

Beautifully acted and wonderful telling of the moon landings. Have waited for a long time to get this series on Apple.
