From the Earth to the Moon

thanks for the chance to live during the greatest time, in the greatest country. it won’t come again.

Same great episodes but the new visual effects are actually worse and less historically accurate than the original. Didn’t need to do anything but rerelease this great mini series.

One of the best miniseries of all time. Incredibly well done and keeps you wanting more.

This was already hands down THE best HBO series ever. Now so wonderfully remastered it became a amazing tribute and homage to celebrate the 50th amniversary of the moon landing as well as the entire space program, from Freedom 7 to Apollo 17!

Great series! Score Please!!!!!

... They cropped the original 4:3 ratio to make it a widescreen presentation. And sometimes the bright scenes are a little too bright. But overall, it's still one of the best miniseries out there. The sound has been remastered and all the special effects have been updated to hi-def cgi. It looks beautiful, the drama and stories are still there. If you loved it before, you'll still love it, and if you haven't seen it, pick this up.

Phenomenal!! I remember watching the HBO miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon" when it orginally aired back in 1998, it turned me into a complete NASA space program buff.....NASA is cool!! I believe this miniseries set the standard for bringing HISTORY ALIVE !! and started a new genre/style of historical HBO miniseries to live up to for all other networks to follow. HBO did live up this high standard again with "Band of Brothers" and "the Pacific", however this one is the best, hands down in my opinion. I purchased the original standard definition DVD set years back and have been searching for it in an HD format ever since with no luck, every few years I would do a search to see if I could it in HD and add it to my collection, no luck. Finally here!! and great timing I might add with the 50 year anniversary of Apollo II. This is a fanatsic fully remastered HD verison!! PRISTINE in HD on APPLE 4K TV!! It's a great purchase on iTunes, the days of filling bookshelves with jewel cases are long gone.....building a digital library is the way to go!! and this is a must have for fans of historical miniseries!!

Grew up and lived in the Cocoa Beach area. Love the detail and recognize a lot of location shots were accurate.

I watched this when it first came out and I was absolutely captivated and blown away. I watch 1968, Spider and Mare Tranquilitus at least once or twice each. The music from Spider is just incredible. (As an aside I wrote to the composer who sent me an mp3 of it) This miniseries really takes up where The Right Stuff left off. There are things here and there but overall the versimilitude gave me a sense of what was going on around me during those days in July of 1969. I was two years old and can't access anything I'd dignify by memory but this gives me a sanitized and dramatized sense of what it was like in our living room. If you are old enough to remember this history directly, this will be a satisfying trip down memory lane. For those of us who were old enough to witness it but have no accessible memories of what we witnessed, this will give you a sense of what it was like to be in the room when the world heard "Tranquility base here, the Eagle has landed". If you were born afterward and wonder why people older than you got so excited, see what you missed. I have been waiting for this to come to iTunes for *years* and had just consigned myself to having to watch the series on my disc. Hallelujah, my nerdTV prayers have been answered!

The days of watching episodes on YouTube are over. The best docuseries ever!
