Trivia
Originally, Shepard's crew was scheduled for the ill-fated Apollo XIII with Lovell, Mattingly and Haise scheduled for Apollo XIV. The crews were switched so that Shepard would have more time to catch up. This was done because it was important to the NASA brass that one of the Mercury Seven make it to the moon. Ironically, because Apollo XIII never landed on the moon, Shepard's crew carried out the same mission that they would have if they had been on Apollo XIII.

Goofs
As Alan Shepard approaches the oil rig, there is a white mid 1980's Ford F-800 work truck clearly in view.

Quotes
Gaye Alford: [Hearing Alan Shepard mercilessy chewing out Gene Cernan in his office, she decides to replace Al's neutral "Mood of the day" picture on his door with one of him scowling angrily. Stuart Roosa approaches.] Stu?
Stu Roosa: [seeing scowling Al's picture] You know what? I can come back later.
Gaye Alford: Stu, aren't you flying to the cape Friday?
Alan Shepard: [Meeting Stu at Elllington to fly to the cape on Friday] Let's go.
[Climbs into the front seat without another word]
Stu Roosa: [Softly sarcastic] I'm good Al, how are you?

Alternate versions
Warner Brothers remastered the entire miniseries for re-release in time for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. It was enhanced to improve picture and sound quality, more saturated, and completely true widescreen. This new version was released both in Blu-Ray format and for streaming services.
