This looks like it would be a good movie. I was disappointed to read that they went political and left out the iconic scene of the astronauts planting the US flag. Their rationale was that the lunar landing was a "human accomplishment". True but that does not make it mutually exclusive to being an American accomplishment. I worked directly for two different managers at Boeing who worked on the Apollo program. I loved listening to the old greybeards tell stories about the Apollo programs. I remember one of them tell about how they designed the wheels and all the tests they did on various concepts before settling on a final design.
Trivia questions:
How many times did man walk on the moon? Hint, Michael Jackson never did.
How many times have we (US of A ) landed a manned spacecraft on the moon?
How many times has any other country landed a manned spacecraft on the moon? I'll give you this one, ZERO!
I will wait till this comes on HBO to watch it.
