Format:VHS Tape
Using original (and often previously unseen) NASA archival footage, we hear what it was like to "be there" from the astronauts themselves, with no intrusive and unnecessary voice overs. The evocative and haunting music is by Brian Eno. This is the closest you will get to feeling what it was actually like. A wonderful film in the fullest sense of the word.

For many people the apollo program was just all about machine rather than genuine human accomplishment. For all mankind will change your view. With fantastic arcive views and superb discriptions from the astronauts themselves you will find yourself captivated with this ammazing video. You will soon realise that there is much more to apollo that one small step. A must get video.

I first found this film in 1995 and was awestruck. It is the best visual record of space exploration. Of course space cadets like myself will smile at all the continuity disparities but that is the point of the thing. Reinhart wanted a commentary to follow rather than match the visuals.
Space was about the sum of the parts and each mission made its own contribution. Al bean speaking as Buzz Aldin is helmeted is part of the charm. YES the words and pictures don't match but the message and presentation FAR EXCEEDS anything I have seen through many hours and volumes of books. I say that as a VIP at shuttle launches and access to much other media.
The perfect accompanyment to Chaiken's book - For All Mankind.
Finally, the soundtrack by Brian Eno cannot be surpassed. I have 3 copys of the CD to ensure I can never be without such amasing music.
I truly love this film and soundtrack - I have given it loads of people - Buy and keep it for your children and their children.

I had great expectations of this film, having followed the Apollo programme since Apollo 8 right up until the end. Read more

Striking film footage!
A very good film overview of the NASA Apollo missions. It included a lot of footage that I hadn't seen before, although some of it does seem a bit out of place. Read more

The feelings behind the science
A film that shows very well the gap that existed between the guys on the ground, doing their best to beat the ruskies to the moon and the lucky (very few) people who set foot on... Read more
