Trivia:
In "Can We Do This?" James Webb says that NASA will put the first American in space on May 2, 1961, referring to Alan Shepard's upcoming Freedom 7 flight. When the liftoff of Freedom 7 is shown, the date is listed as May 5, 1961. This may appear to be a mistake, but it is not. Freedom 7 was originally scheduled to launch on May 2, but this was postponed until May 5 because of thunderstorms. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: In Episode 3, Mark Hamon as Wally Schirra states that Gordon Cooper left the program when he is talking to Deke Slayton on the beach. This "conversation" would haven taken place in 1968. Cooper did not leave NASA until 1970, when Shepard and Slayton passed him over for command of Apollo 13. more

Movie: A- DVD: A-, 10 February 2000
8/10
Author: Paul B. Musser from Loudonville, NY

Tom Hanks executive produced this mini-series after completing Apollo 13 as a way of detailing the entire Apollo program. Each episode is a story about a different aspect of the endeavor and each features different writers, directors and actors. As a whole, the series is a wonderful adventure and a great history lesson. Cameo appearances by many, many well known character actors enhances the fun. A few of the episodes really stand out as special, but the entire series is more than worth watching. The entire video was shot on video for HBO but still looks great, special effects are as good as in any movie and for the DVD, excellent 5.1 sound is used. The boxed set includes a fourth disc containing extras that I have not seen, thought I anxiously await the opportunity.
