While I thought it was great and I enjoyed it immensely I do have a few of criticisms. I agree that there was very little footage there that I have not seen before. I would guess not more than a couple of minutes if that. They also gave in to the same old laziness that many others have done, namely using shots of, say, a Saturn five lifting off and showing other shots of other rockets in quick cuts as it climbed to orbit. Shots of a Gemini lifting off then an interior shot out the window of the craft as it was reentering implying it was a shot during the launch. Too lazy to show it accurately. The usual “a rocket is a rocket the audience won’t know, or care which rocket it isâ€. Probably true, but the main audience for this show is made up of people like us who would know and care.
Never the less I will be watching every second of the rest of the shows.
