Go to the moon
The moon missions are not very familiar to the the average person. We all know the footage of Neil and Buzz walking around out there for the first time, but some of the more inspiring footage comes from later missions: Astronauts driving the rover around, picking up rocks, skipping and bouncing and falling around the magnificent desolation; knowing you are the only ones on the entire lunar-planetary surface, that you are among the very few who have ever been there or will ever be there.As far as documentaries are concerned, this has got to be one of the best I've seen or can imagine. The extraordinary thing about it is that they make you feel as if you are involved. By not taking the viewer beyond anything but NASA footage and by not giving your ears anything but NASA audio, you really feel like you have shared in these magical, almost unreal journeys, missions carried out "for all mankind."
