This will be my 3rd copy!
I have not seen the Blu-Ray version of this film, but it's something I must have. I initially purchased it on Laser Disc. Of course, when the DVD came out, I had to have that version. Now, on Blu-Ray I can only imagine that it's going to be incredible. I saw this at the Castro Theater in San Francisco years ago. It was a very different experience watching it on a big screen in a theater filled with people. Obviously, I was speechless, but sharing it with other people who were just as overwhelmed as I was made it a very moving experience. Try to share this film with others, especially if you have a large family and/or young kids.It not a "rah-rah America" rally call and it's different than an Imax film (though I'd love to see it in Imax). It's not "cheesy" in the least. Instead, it calmly immerses - it puts you in a different mind set.So, immerse yourself. It's awesome.One trivial bit - since Harrison Schmidt was the Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 17, and followed Mission Commander Cernan out on the surface, doesn't that make HIM the last man to set foot upon the moon? I'm certain the Cernan was the last to re-enter the LM - I remember when he spoke the final words from the surface - but, officially.....ohnevermind.
