I've seen so many modern apollo documentaries and not one of them went into as much detail about the LEM as this one did. Great stuff!

I like how John Fitch did not realize how close he was standing to the landing strut - he was surprised when it came so close to kneecapping him

It's great to have these old documentaries saved and accessible to us common folk.

John Fitch is a great presenter and interviewer. The way he builds information for the viewer into his questions is masterly.

Love putting a voice and face to Tom Kelly having read his book a zillion times. Seeing two adults inside the cramped LM and Bob Smyth at the controls of the simulator really makes me appreciate the courage and ability of the crews to land this vehicle on the moon, exit it and walk around performing experiments and gathering samples and then getting back in and flying it off the surface to rendezvous in orbit with the CSM. Amazing engineering, manufacturing and piloting.

This is the best examination of the LEM I've ever seen. I wish it had been broadcast more widely before the landing itself.
