When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions
In Collaboration with NASA
Since the dawn of mankind, we have stared up at the lights in the sky and wondered... Now join the heroic men and women who have dared the impossible on some of the greatest adventures ever undertaken - the quest to reach out beyond Earth and into the great unknown of space! To celebrate 50 years of incredible achievements, the Discovery Channel has partnered with NASA to reveal the epic struggles, tragedies and triumphs in a bold chapter of human history. Along with the candid interviews of the people who made it happen, hundreds of hours of never-before-seen film footage from the NASA archives - including sequences on board the actual spacecraft in flight - have been carefully restored, edited and compiled for this landmark collection.

Average documentary - Cine_Fan
Disk one contains two hour long programs: the first on Project Mercury, the second on Gemini. The narration (by Gary Sinese) and old footage are supplemented by modern interviews with several of the original astronauts and mission directors. If you've read Tom Wolfe's "The Right Stuff" there's not a lot new here. Some of the archival material you may not have seen before, even if you're a space nut. Just average.
