Product: For All Mankind [VHS] (1989)
Rating: 5.0
Poetic, plus the soundtrack gave me shivers
This uses all kinds of Nasa footage never shown in public before. Some of the most striking was 'engineering' footage, showing rocket stages separating, various capsules separating and docking, and in one case, a moonwalk during the Gemini program. This concentrates on how the astronauts felt during their voyages and is based on audio interviews done years later. Some of these space cowboys get downright poetic. The best thing about the movie is the Brian Eno soundtrack which perfectly captures the balletic awe of space vehicles and the sights brought back from the Moon.
