VHS Movie Reviews of Moon Shot: The Inside Story of the Apollo Project (1994)
Movie Review: great introduction for teenagers
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this documentary in my physics classes for the past 8 years during our unit on planetary and satellite motion, and they always LOVE it. The "storytelling" presentation really pulls them into the film, and they get so attached to the Mercury Seven that we have to pass around the tissues when Gus dies in the Apollo I fire. It also serves as a springboard into a great historical discussion of that era - one that many students never make it to in class. And, of course, we follow it up with a field trip to the Space and Rocket Center in nearby Huntsville, AL. Now if I could just get this on DVD . . . my tapes are starting to wear out!Movie Review: Looking for the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Moonshot is an excellent documentary. It is over 3 hours long, and I wish it was longer. I went to amazon today intending to get a DVD of this. I already have a VHS copy.
Movie Review: For space program buffs
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic history of the space program, narrated by Barry Corbin (voice of the late Deke Slayton), but featuring interviews with the men who were there, including Adm. Alan Shepard, first American in Space. They have some of the most amusing stories about those early missions that you could ever hope to hear. The companion book is also terrific, goes into much more detail than the movie could ever hope to, even across the best part of four hours.Movie Review: moon shot
Summary: 5 Stars
This has got to be the best documentary ever made about the space race. It's absolutely nerve racking even though you know what is going to happen. I've watched this film and read this book over and over and everytime i do i find myself biting my nails. Right now i'm looking for the DVD version to add to my collection. I already have the book and vhs movie.
This movie/book really gives you the details of what these heros actually went through, their thoughts and the guts it takes to be an astronaut. These men really have nerves of steel and after reading this book it gives you a real appreciation of what it took not just from these men but the supporting cast! If There was a task that needed to be done that no one thought was possible I'd turn to Gene Krantz and his team, cause if it was humanly possible they would be able to figure it out and accomplish it.
Thanks again to these men for taking us to another level and also for an enjoyable book and video to watch.
Thanks
Nick
Movie Review: The Definitive Manned Spaceflight Account
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the definitive account of manned space flight from the selection of the original Mercury 7 astronauts to the moon landings. Excellent use of first-hand narratives by the astronauts themselves and refreshingly free of the public relations hype that seems to permeate earlier attempts at these stories. Moonshot tells its story with accuracy and grit, allowing the real drama of the events to speak for themselves.
