 You love Space You'll Love ThisJul 22, 2010
We toured Disney's MGM/Hollywood Studios when this was being filmed. My husband who loves all things about the Space Program was disappointed to find out it was going to be on HBO because we didn't have it. He also loved Ron Howard, Tom Hanks and Apollo 13 so he was so excited when I surprised him with this collection. He has watched it twice already going back to find things he missed the first time.
documented well just what an amazing accomplishment it wasApr 24, 2010
Putting a man on the moon is one of man's greatest accomplishments. The fact that the US did it is and should be a huge source of pride. Anyone with any technical background knows that it was an amazing feat with the technology of the day, and one wonders whether America is capable of such an achievement today, with today's technology.
After seeing Apollo 13 with my 7 year old son he was addicted. This HBO series filled and fed his addiction. When he was 8 he memorized and recited the well-known portion of Kennedy's Moon Speech (We choose to go to the moon in this decade ...) in the prose and poetry contest at his little British school here in London. Just that speech alone moved lots of the US citizens and UK citizens alike.
Watch this series and maybe stop taking for granted America's great accomplishment, learn just what went into it and more. It was an unimaginable task and they did it. I am still in awe and I loved every minute of the 12 episodes.
Band of Brothers for the moon raceApr 19, 2010
I picked this up not really knowing what it was. Was it a history channel type documentary or was it more akin to the Band of Brothers storytelling?
I'm certainly not disappointed that I did. This is an excellent mini-series detailing the race to the moon from different perspectives. It's not just the astronauts or the NASA's perspective on it but it shows the politics behind it, a whole episode dedicated to the wifes of astronauts etc.
Extremely good. I was a little disappointed by the Apollo 13 episode whereby it was taken from the perspective of a news reporter but in hindsight it was good to see the perspective of others.
Overall an excellent mini-series, historically accurate with some great real footage mixed in with stage and visual effects, blended masterfully.
Recommended to anyone who wants to know more about what happened during the USA's four short years of manned space missions ending with the last man to set foot on the moon.

 Houston we have a miniseries.Mar 18, 2010
From the Earth to the Moon: 5 out of 10: From the Earth to the Moon is a strange bird. Not a mini series in the strictest sense. Each episode is self-contained with virtually no characters, except the space program itself, moving from one episode to the next. Each episode therefore is its own one-hour movie simply sharing the same sets with the other films.
Three are brilliantly done (episode 2 "Apollo 1" episode 5 "Spider" and episode 7 "That's all there is") The rest are either simply OK to outright misses (episodes 8 and 9) and by the time you are ready to spend an hour exclusively with the astronaut's wives (episode 11) the whole thing seems a bit of a slog.
Don't get me wrong the acting, sets and special effects are brilliant throughout but some magic is missing. When Apollo 11 lands on the moon there is no magic, no excitement. It is all very low key strangely focused on Buzz Aldrin's feelings about being second. I was also wondering what they were to do next since we land on the moon episode six in a twelve episode series.
The lack of a character or two that can be followed from episode to episode gives one little reason to invest in the slower episodes that follow number 7. There simply is no payoff in sticking with the program.
In the beginning of episode 8 about Apollo 13 Tom Hanks laments that Americans had become bored with the space program. The episode then spends 50 minutes digging up old chestnuts about old media versus new media. Turns out the American viewing public weren't the only ones bored with outer space.
