Looking back at Apollo across a lifetime
The presentation is impeccible, but the soundtrack by Brian Eno nails it.During the Apollo flights (1968 - 1972), we all felt part of the space age. When this documentary was released in 1989, Apollo still felt like it was just yesterday. Now in 2009, with Eno's ethereal music in the background, a feeling of the surreal overtakes me as I look back half a lifetime ago.Buy this documentary for the interviews as well as the expected accompanying NASA pictures and movies - you won't be disappointed. It complements other more recent offerings, such as "In the Shadow of the Moon" and "The Wonder of It All". But only this film captures the feeling of what it is like to have lived through it and now look back.It was an age, and now we shake our heads in wonder.
