For All Mankind

For All Mankind is a wonderful documentary about the Apollo moon missions, which were an important part of my childhood.

You can watch it in 10-minute pieces by starting with the YouTube link to part 1 below, and then continuing with the subsequent parts (links included here, but also found in the YouTube sidebar). It's NASA footage you've rarely or never seen, and well worth watching. The audio commentary from the astronauts is also fascinating.

Oh, and ignore the viewer comments, they're full of "the moon landing is a hoax" nonsense. Just let yourself be mesmerized by the imagery, the words, and Brian Eno's haunting ambient soundtrack.
