This is a great documentary about space travel. I love that it has primary sources and interviews with the astronauts and mission control people. However, some of the information is outdated.

Very well done documentary

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2009

Being thirty years old and not having lived through the "Space Race", i have been amazed by what this documentary brings to light. It is well narrated with great interviews and wonderful original footage that really brings you into what transpired. My wife and i have thoroughly enjoyed viewing this program.

There are some issues with it, which is why i only gave it four stars. First of all, with the information, it sometimes seems like they go too quickly through certain events without explaining everything - of course this is understandable given the scope of what they are covering and putting it in eight episodes. But sometimes i wish there would be a little more information provided about some things.

Also, i did notice the dirt speck that has been discussed. But i also wonder if these individuals actually watched the whole program or only the first 10 minutes of the first disc and gave up on it. After the first 10 minutes of the first disc, i did not notice the spot there anymore through the rest of the program (and i was looking). It certainly was a little annoying while it was on the screen - but i think that's because i read about it here and was looking for it, and when i found it i couldn't keep my eyes off of it. Would i have noticed if i had not been tipped off about it? I'm not sure. It really isn't all that large. And i didn't tell my wife about it and she never complained about it, so i don't think she noticed it. So perhaps unless you're just REALLY obsessive about every inch of the screen every second, perhaps it can be overlooked at just problematic original film (which has been pointed out it is not, but if the mind can explain it away like that, then it becomes a non-issue). And like i said, after the first 10 minutes or so, you don't need to worry about it anyway. I just feel sorry for the people who quit watching it after eight minutes assuming it was going to be there the whole way and missed out on the rest of what was offered.

My final problem is that it is only provided in 1080i and the audio is not HD audio. I understand this was filmed for television to run on Discovery and that HD television broadcasts in 1080i, but they really could have done this 1080p for the blu-ray.

Other than those cons, which really aren't all that bad at all, i really enjoyed this production and think that you will too!

So near but so far ...

Here's why I like this set:

The image quality is (mostly - see below) very good. Even with the 16mm film source the extra resolution of Blu-Ray is apparent and some of the film is staggeringly effective. As has been stated in another review, the modern interviews are pristine.
The variety and scope of the clips is excellent. The makers have sourced every possible movie from private hands (cine films) and NASA and there's a great deal I've not seen despite 40 years of interest in the subject.
The narration is well written and appropriate. This feels like a story with narrative rather than a straightforward documentary.

Here's why I dislike this set and think it's a wasted opportunity:

Despite the quality of the film clips there are some that have clear and very obvious visible and not just minor anomalies but persistent great big black blobs in the same place on the screen. This 'dirt' persists across clips taken at varied times, even months apart and in very different locations, so it wasn't on the original film. That means, logically, that it's a projection fault and that it wasn't spotted during the HD transfer to Blu-Ray. that's VERY disappointing.
More importantly there's the issue of the music. I'm British and (until recently) our TV documentaries used the original audio soundtrack alone rather than additional music. If music was used then it was sparingly and appropriate and it certainly didn't get in the way of the original audio. During this presentation the music is near permanent. It never stops except for a few seconds here and there. It drowns out narration and more importantly it all but removes the original audio. Subtitles are provided for capcom recordings (voices to and from the spacecraft) but they wouldn't be needed if the infernal music would just shut up! Not only that but the music isn't of good quality and is stupidly over-blown, false drama in every moment. The scenes are dramatic enough, leave them alone please. In the extras there are standalone clips of the astronauts training (etc) and I though at least with these there'd be the original audio but no, the music is even worse and there's NO original audio at all. Shameful. I realize that this is the norm for American TV documentaries (Nothing personal, you make the best TV in the world on the whole) but it ruins the experience and should be resisted.

So, a very very good set partially spoiled by the music and some transfer anomalies. If you can cope with the music then don't let the anomalies put you off. It's probably the best NASA footage on Blu-Ray so far but it could have been the best full stop.

I am a huge fan of NASA and this documentary is very informative!
This brought back memories of my childhood, when I watched the very first Space Shuttle Columbia taking off!
Unfortunately, I also watched it break up into a million pieces in the sky 22 years later, it broke my heart to watch my heroes die!

It's as good a collection of the old NASA history as you can get. Gotta keep in mind though, this was created from really old films, so don't expect real Blu-ray quality

Of all the series that recap NASA's space history this is my favorite. Not only do we get to see very good quality footage of the early tests and missions (with extended footage as bonuses) but also a humane version of the astronaut's journey and both the success and errors that happened and made this adventure so unique. Instead of focusing only on the milestone and historic acheivment it shows the mistakes and failed missions that all those people had to get through, and how it shaped the future of space exploration.
