The video often has nothing to do with the narration. One of the worst "documentaries" I've seen. It feels like a rushed and shoddy job putting it all together, when there are so many great ones. If you just want to watch random NASA footage maybe this OK, but it's not recommended to waste your money on a purchase.

Every episode has many glaring errors in facts and visuals. Didn't anybody fact check anything? Was the editor allowed to select any pretty image rather than go to the trouble of using footage that matched the narration?

It would take longer than it took watching the series to properly document all the errors. An example of one of the worst errors is stating that Neil YOUNG was the first to walk on the Moon. How did this get past script review? Did the narrator make the mistake? Did the sound engineer also not know it was wrong? Did no one proof the finished edit?

Other blatant errors include stating the explosion on Apollo 13 was caused by a short in fuel cell number three. It was actually caused by a short in a LOX tank and this has been well documented for a VERY long time. Did they never watch the movie "Apollo 13?"

It also claimed hydrogen leaking from a solid rocket booster caused the loss of Challenger. It's a SOLID rocket booster. It uses SOLID propellant. There is no hydrogen.

The lack of editorial review causes EVERYTHING to be suspect in this series. It's so suspect I refuse to call it a documentary because it appears absolutely no documents were researched. It more like someone wrote a script from flawed memory of long-past TV reports.

The only reason to watch this series is if you already know NASA history and want a drinking game. Take a drink every time there's an error in narration or visual. You'll probably be drunk before the first episode ends.
