🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"This is simply one of my favorite shows of all time. I can't even count how many times I've watched it from start to finish. For me, it is the definitive, most visually stunning, and most accurate account of the first voyages to our nearest neighbor in space. I've always been incredibly fond of the Lunar Module, and the 'Spider' episode perfectly captures the sheer engineering genius it took to build it. If you have any interest at all in the Apollo program or the determination of the ground crews and astronauts, this series is a masterpiece."
