Kennedy's historic speech, through the first manned expeditions into space, to the defining moment of the space program - putting a man on the moon. "One small step for man... one giant leap for mankind." Powerfully told as never before though the unforgettable performances of Cary Elwes, Sally Field, Chris Isaak and many more, these are the stories of the men, women and children who lived, breathed and manufactured from the power of human will one of the greatest achievements in the history of mankind. Review: Wonderful and Highly Accurate Retelling of the Space Race and Apollo Program - I'm pretty biased as I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to all things space. If you have any interests at all in the moon landing/Apollo program then this series is certainly worth a watch. Even if you aren't that into it, you may still well marvel at the sheer scope of what NASA was trying to achieve after JFK set his (lets face it, completely impossible at the time) declaration to walk on the moon by the end of the decade. This series is made up of twelve episodes. Each one focuses on a different element of the space race. The first couple cover the beginning of the space race. Most of the ones that follow cover one of the Apollo missions each (Apollos 1, ,7 ,8, 9 & 10, 11, 12 (my favourite episode, this crew were amazing), 13, 14, 15, and 17). The last two episodes are a bit different. Apollo 16 wasn't so different from 15 or 17 so instead, that episode has been given over to see the perspective of the wives of the astronauts. The final episode is a wonderful summary of the program, with quite a bit about Apollo 17, and also a lot of focus on a little known (these days) French film called Le Voyage dans la Lune. There is no one character that maintains central focus throughout the series but you will see a lot of characters come in and out of the picture as the series continues. Obviously there wasn't one man who was an integral part of every mission (well okay, there were obviously lots around mission control, but with these shows mostly being about the crew and missions...) You see Neil Armstrong in a couple of episodes, mostly in the second, about his Gemini 8 mission, and then obviously the Apollo 11 episode. Similarly, Alan Shepherd is the focus of two as he was the first American spacewalker and also commanded Apollo 14. Deke Slayton is a pretty regular character and the most prominent, amusingly, is Elliot Seaburn, a fictional TV news reporter, played beautifully by Lane Smith. Another thing to note is the Apollo 13 episode. I've heard before people being dissatisfied with this episode as it doesn't focus at all on the actual events of the mission. Instead we see the impact of the ground and the reporters. This isn't explained but I assume that it's because the film Apollo 13 (starring Tom Hanks, who is behind the production, writing, and directing of a lot of this series) covers the mission side of it already. Despite the cast being different, watching the two together makes perfect sense. The series is also incredibly factually accurate. Apart from input from Tom Hanks (who is a die hard space fanatic), the series also employed Dave Scott (Gemini 8, Apollo 9, Apollo 15) as a technical consultant. They also got Günter Wendt, who was the pad leader for the Apollo missions (the man in charge of the launch pad, and the last man to see the astronauts as they entered the capsule). The missions were absolutely cutting edge and filled with all sorts of challenges, both predicted and surprises, that challenged the engineers and the crews to their absolute limits. As such, there is no reason to over dramatise anything. 99% of what you see here is historical fact and it's absolutely fascinating. Review: A complementary history to go with Apollo 13 movie. - I already had a DVD box set. Going to HD blu ray copy makes a worthy upgrade. Briefly covers the history from JFKs speech to the middle of the lunar landing missions. Clearly inspired by the Apollo 13 movie and covers that mission from the media coverage point of view. For me the best episodes are the coverage of the development of the Lunar Module and the Apollo 12 mission. However episodes 11 and feel like fillers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CQ97OC | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,450 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 2,729 in Box Sets (DVD & Blu-ray) 3,489 in Television (DVD & Blu-ray) 3,493 in Action & Adventure (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,080) | | Director | Tom Hanks | | Dubbed: | German | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 7321900254830 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), German (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | PAL, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 5 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 1.5 x 19 cm; 160 g | | Release date | 20 Mar. 2006 | | Run time | 11 hours and 4 minutes | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Subtitles: | Arabic, Czech, Danish, English, Finnish, German, Greek, Hebrew, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Swedish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Tom Hanks - **Format:** PAL, Subtitled - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 11 hours and 4 minutes ## Images ![From the Earth to the Moon [Signature Edition Boxset] [DVD] [1998] [2006] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Sc9FmRB9L.jpg) ![From the Earth to the Moon [Signature Edition Boxset] [DVD] [1998] [2006] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aXtOwr4gL.jpg) ![From the Earth to the Moon [Signature Edition Boxset] [DVD] [1998] [2006] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+IGKB3WrL.jpg) ![From the Earth to the Moon [Signature Edition Boxset] [DVD] [1998] [2006] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71a5O2eTDfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful and Highly Accurate Retelling of the Space Race and Apollo Program *by M***T on 11 November 2019* I'm pretty biased as I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to all things space.
