I saw this on TV and was originally skeptical since I'm not a big fan of Discovery Channel (I prefer BBC documentaries). However, I was quite impressed with the "When We Left Earth" series. Each episode contains great original NASA footage and interviews with the original astronauts and key players. I frankly found myself wondering how they even got some of those shots in space (and pretty good quality, even in the 1960s footage). The interviews are insightful and reveal interesting trivia (such ... Read More

This is a collection of many of NASA mission documentation, such as photos and films, with the verbal comments of the astronauts that flew them. It covers all the major space flights, starting with the X-15 and Mercury, and ends with the latest Shuttle mission to the International Space Station. It also includes very rare interviews with astronauts that are not seen publicly but were part of NASA's history. My favorites were Neil Armstrong on the X-15 and John Young on the Columbia Space Shuttle. ... Read More

For anyone with an interest in space exploration or engineering, I would highly recommend ... Read More

When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions is a great production done by the Discovery Channel on the early years of NASA to today. It has great interviews of the surviving astronauts and members of mission control and NASA. The films and footage from the all the missions and flight tests are great.
The series on TV was so great, I decided that instead of just recording it off the dish, I bought the DVD set. Even though the DVDs had no playing problems or defects, after putting the DVD in the ... Read More

The first reason to buy this DVD has already been covered in other reviews. The picture is superior to previous NASA documentaries.
The second reason is that the makers of the film somehow managed to get Neal Armstrong to contribute on screen commentary of his experiences on both Gemini 8 and Apollo 11. His commentary ends when program gets to the part where he begins his historic first walk on the Moon. Still, it is great to finally see him in a documentary of this type.
