Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo

Really, seeing these likable oldsters talk at length is just about the entire point of this picture.

This is the usual mix of talking heads and archival footage, but Fairhead also inserts detailed CGI sequences that vividly illustrate the technical issues unfolding.

A well-crafted, revealing British documentary reuniting the surviving team members entrusted with safely taking astronauts to the moon and back.

Some of the film's animated sequences may look as rudimentary as the 1960s tech on display, but the limited budget doesn't prevent this from being a worthwhile addition to the ever-growing library of Apollo-centric features.
