Outstanding

We finally get to see what really happened and these brave men using their instincts to get home to their families. The anxiety, excitement , fear, patriotism was palpable. From the command center to the men on the craft, it was nail biting.

I wish they would have interviewed the astronauts and their families at the end. Recommended this to everyone and they enjoyed it. I was 5 going on 6 when this mission happened and I can remember the splashdown and how everyone was glued to their TVs and radios. I miss these days, but so glad to see it all. Your bravery and exploring the frontier of space will forever be remembered. God speed to all who have ever gone into space. This is what real men, women, and families looked like then.
