Astounding movie. In an age where 95% of 'movies' are shit that appeal to aging Puerto Rican paedophiles that mess around with their own kids, this....this....is the shit: P.S. before you start throwing your 150lb Moderator weight around, go fuck yoself, Anthony
Incredible footage showing the absolute vastness of this under-taking. Anybody who comes away from this still thinking the Moon Landing was a hoax is simply fascinated by their own stupidity.
And I quote: "Apollo 11 not only thrills you like a rollercoaster ride, it brings back to life an exceedingly brief moment in the American timeline where brash and wholly warranted confidence in our technological superiority created a miraculous, quantum leap forward for us as a mostly unified nation."
I want to see this, but i heard it should be seen in the highest definition possible. In the process of buying a new 4k and i guess i will have to buy the ultra high disc if it becomes available.
Yeah, I mean I imagine it would have looked fantastic on IMAX. I had to settle for watching it on Hulu on my Alabama Man Vizio.
Never knew this until the documentary highlighted that the Saturn V rocket suffered a 'hydrogen valve leak' two hours prior to launch. Three techs. were tightening bolts on it as the crew entered the module!
The show must go on. Also reminded me of the several scenes in "Another Life", with crew members working on the "FTL" (Faster Then Light) engines with nothing but plumber's wrenches and phillips head screwdrivers.
To be fair, the Challenger disaster would have massively contributed to the increased "health and safety" in the modern age. Film looks great though, will check this out.
The Columbia didn't help either. On top of the obvious loss of life, there was the huge cost in NASA dollars that fucked over the space program for years to come.
