ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** An amazingly beautiful and wonderfully constructed documentary looking at the history of the men who who made the space program something to believe in and something to dream about. Told first person from the men who did it and made it happen. A truly inspiring piece of work. If only the space program was and meant now what it was and meant then.
