“If You Beliiieve… They Put A Man On The Moon…”

Spacecraft Films are in the process of making available DVD sets which include a large proportion of the footage from the various NASA space missions. For example, the forthcoming Apollo 11 set is on three disks and contains over ten hours of footage.

The Apollo missions were a major part of my childhood. I was fascinated by them. I was six when Apollo 11 landed on the moon and I remember insisiting that my parents woke me up so I could see Armstrong take his first steps on moon (which happened at about 3am UK time). Apparently when they came to wake me I wanted to stay in bed, but they dragged me up and I’m, of course, glad that they did even though my memories are somewhat hazy.
