When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions

Great documentary, the best i have ever seen about us space exploration and space exploration in general. The pictures it shows are amazing and it is in high definition too.

Also i really disagree with the previous review stating that this was only American journey. In the documentary it was clearly stated that without competition between Russia and America no one would have gone to space yet alone the moon so early. The astronauts in the documentary tried to send a message that the world is small, interconnected and that really the humans are one family. It is sad this message didn't reach the person who wrote that review. Anyway great documentary about great people.

Can't get enough of these historical footage. I can even watch them without a narration, let alone a production this fine. The astronauts are true heroes, when the day comes that humankind have sailed across the stars, when we settle on a new planets, there will be monuments of these brave souls, who has taken first steps for us.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. Unlike many shows on space exploration in which the focus is on space itself, this series was presented with an emphasis on the people who were involved to make it happen. Viewers are treated to personal behind-the-scenes trials and tribulations of space program from the perspective of the people who were there. Personal anecdotes and experiences are interspersed throughout the series. I often found myself saying, "Oh, I didn't know that." For example, describing what Allen Shepperd said to Mission Control before his first take-off was amusing.

This is an American show produced from the American perspective. Sorry to break it to some people but contrary to worldwide belief, America is NOT the world's country. When America says "We" it doesn't mean Russia, Canada, Europe, China, and Japan too. America is entitled to tell its own history without having to include everyone else's too. Russia is welcome to produce its own space program documentary. And when they do, I don't expect it to include shots of Cape Canaveral or soundbites from John Glenn.

This documentary brings the whole trajectory of the conquest of man to space, presenting the details of the development of technologies, errors and actions to make the dream so that the conquest of the human being beyond the earth. I Recommend fortement this documentary.

After I first binge watched this on a free streaming platform, I went to Amazon to purchase it because I could not imagine ever not having access to rewatch whenever inwanted. Basically even though at the time I watched it, it was free I turned around and paid $ to have it forever. Stop reading this stupid review and watch it.
