Moon Machines.

Interested in learning more about the moon missions? I've seen a number of documentaries about it and I would have to say that "Moon Machines" is up there in my favorites. It doesn't so much talk about going to the moon, the experience of the astronauts, or the meaning of the accomplishment, but takes an in-depth look at the various aspects of the mission essential to it's success.

Where other documentaries do a great job of giving a personal and emotional accounts from people involved, this series concentrates on the development of the new technology, the bumps along the way, and the ultimate success by pushing design and engineering where it had never before gone...take a look at the wikipedia page, and watch the actual full-length videos over on youtube...
