When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions

Firstly. This documentary has a lot of great information and some great recordings from NASA's history. They are are must watch for any human being no matter in what documentary. But... it is made by amateurs.

There is a an added shaky-cam effect to all the modern interviews. Why did they add it? I don't think anyone can answer this question. It also seems like they added it to the old recordings from their offices, but it could just be bad recordings. They also select the scenes where the old camera zooms? Why? I don't know. The worst thing is that we actually don't get to see any scene for over 10 seconds. But the average length of a scene is probably 3 seconds. And every scene is split up by small comments/interview segments. Why? Another thing is that they exaggerate everything. Everything is extremely dangerous, unsafe and stupid to even try... according to this documentary. They make something awesome and exiting seem more ridiculous than it actually is. Why? I don't know.

It is very much worth seeing. But it is very badly made and should be remade. I love space and NASA so I gave it a 6. But it is an amateurish documentary. The documentary makers should be very much ashamed and NASA should be proud.

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.

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.

A wonderful series about the US space program. This is the documentary that needed to be made about the world's first entrance into the last frontier. Superbly done, this is one of my favorite documentary series ever produced. Everything, from story to music is close to perfect. Because they knew they were making history, the scientists, engineers, astronauts and others had enough foresight to record everything on film. I imagine hours and hours and hours of footage exists. Until now, this footage had not been crafted into the compelling story that was waiting to be told. Told chronologically, the story starts early in the space program, with rockets barely able to take off, and often exploding. As noted in the film, the task was to use these rockets with people on the top to get to the moon. It's a journey that will be remembered for thousands of years; humans' first travels in space.

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.
