In Zusammenarbeit mit der NASA verfolgt der Film die Geschichte eines "American Dream", den ersten Menschen auf den Mond zu schicken. Mit den Reisen der Apollo-Astronauten wurde dieser Traum Wirklichkeit. Spannend wie nie zuvor wird in dieser Reihe von den Menschen erzählt, die dazu beigetragen haben, eine der größten Leistungen der Menschheitsgeschichte zu vollbringen: den Flug zum Mond.

I´ve been interested in the space race for a very long time and seen about every movie and documentary about it. Nevertheless this show was well worth watching because it tells storys that haven´t been told. It´s those storys about the people and what went on behind the headlines. Mixed with original footage this show gives an insight at a time of great struggle but also great hope.
The entire space programme dramatized. It deserved it's Golden Globe at the time as it really wanted to make a miniseries that told everything about NASA's moon history. Hell, it even had a show about the women waiting on their astronaut husbands and an entire show devoted to the filming of "A Trip to the Moon" that inspired people to go to the moon. Phenomenal show.
Largely because of the way it was filmed, this series doesn't look particularly dated. The story of the Apollo missions is told in a very straight-forward, undramatic way. Excellently done and well worth a watch.
It's like Band of Brothers in space, it really is an amazing show. [11/10]
