Mankind's last great adventure...
"We choose to go to the moon..." JFK stated those words, which begins this DVD documentary, boldly stating that the United States of America will land men on the moon before the end of that decade. This DVD, as other reviewers have stated, is not about one specific Apollo mission but is a chronicle of a "typical" lunar landing, using the words and images of the handful of men who've walked upon our celestial neighbor. It's not a strict documentary per se (and I did find the use of the Gemini mission footage jarring), but it give's you an idea of what these brave men saw and experienced when they went of the fartherest trip that man has ever embarked on. The DVD images are clear (although there are some limitations due to the use of old film of course) and the sound is good. The images of our fragile planet will move you, and if you even have a minute interest in the space program, I recommend that you get this DVD.
