Title: The "Real" Stuff! ... But where's the DVD?
Product review: Based on the book, MOONSHOT (ISBN: 1878685546), by Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton (two members of the "Mercury Seven"), this insightful and educating documentary originally aired on TBS (as a mini-series) in 1995. Covering NASA's early manned space programs from Mercury through Apollo, this series provides a plethora of archived video footage, recent interviews and colorful commentary by Barry Corbin (the obnoxious, redneck general in the movie, WAR GAMES). Aside from Spacecraft Films' digitally remastered archived footage on DVD, this series provides the most comprehensive, albeit compact, overview of how the American space program began and progressed throughout the height of the Cold War.Unfortunately, this series is not currently available on DVD.
