Great historical view (2003-01-03)

The many behind-the-scenes videos made this a wonderful video. The current interviews with surviving astronauts was a good touch. I was saddened that Deke Slayton did not live to this project's completion.

The video was much better than the book. For text, I recommend FLIGHT by Kraft or DEKE by Slayton.

Outstanding spaceflight documentary should be put on a DVD. (2002-04-25)

Moonshot is the best NASA documentary ever and gives a thorough,and personal,history of 1960s spaceflight from Mercury to Gemini to the Apollo Moon landings.It is told by the astronauts themselves and features unique footage of President Kennedy visiting the base.It also tells some stories that I had not seen before,such as Coopers emergency landing when systems shut down in his Mercury capsule.The Moonshot documentary gives us our moneys worth by going for 3 hours and 12 minutes of very interesting NASA history.How about a DVD version? This superb documentary deserves one.

A definative and entertaining visual history of NASA (2001-05-04)

Using Deke Slayton's homespun (and salty!) language filtered through the earthy voice of Barry Corbin, Moon Shot is the definative history of the NASA Space program.

This documentary uses an ocean of archival footage and stunningly accessible, honest, humourous and illuminative first person narratives of all the key players to tell the complete story from Mercury to Skylab and all the journeys in between. As great as Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff is, Moon Shot is even more complete.

Clocking in at over 3 hours in running time, Moon Shot flies by in a second as it is filled with fascinating insights and visions of the brave men (and the women who supported them) who took us into the final frontier.

The moon landing is one of man's greatest achievements and this inspirational documentary caputures history in a manner befitting a classic epic film. Moon shot is a must see and must own document which stands up beautifully to the many, many times I have viewed and reviewed it.

You haven't seen the space race till you see this one! (2000-09-16)

Very organized and very comprehensive documentation of all US and USSR movements and decisions toward the moon.

Excellent! , A Must Have... (2000-08-14)

An excellent approach to all the programs that NASA managed to get to the moon plus the joint USA-USSR mission, hosted by the voice of Deke Slayton. A must have for the ones that like space history. If you're one of those, BUY IT NOW! .
