Emily St. James Vox From the Earth to the Moon doesn't just bring Apollo to life; it brings a whole complicated world around the program to life, too. It's a pity more miniseries haven't tried to do the same for other major historical events. Jul 8, 2019 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand The history of the American space race is presented in terms both reverential and mortal in ... the sweeping Tom Hanks produced mini-series made for HBO.

james b Episode 8 is not about the Apollo 13 astronauts, it's about the reporters, ?????? Sorry thought the astronauts were more important than news reporters. Lame Don't bother with episode 8 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Robert L Was great until the episode on Apollo 13. I was excited to see the inside goings on at nasa during this mission and the whole thing was from the perspective of the idiotic press!!! What a disappointment! Whose stupid idea was that!!! Don't know if I will watch anymore episodes after that one! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
