I'm what you call precocious. Let's just say I want to fly to the moon, but I'm to young to drive the rocket.

I thought this might interest people here - a new Apollo documentary featuring interviews with all the surviving Apollo astronauts is being screened this Saturday on Channel 4 at 8pm in the UK

In The Shadow Of The Moon

In the entire history of mankind, only a handful of human beings have walked on another world. In a unique new film, surviving Apollo astronauts tell their stories.

by Laura Snook, Editor, MSN UK News

In the Shadow of the Moon is on Channel 4 at 8pm on May 31

I've seen it, and it's wonderful. I urge everyone to watch it. Be sure to stay tuned for the closing credits, during which the astronauts have some candid comments about those who think it was all a hoax.

Thanks for the heads-up, aces!

Pre ordered the DVD to get it as soon as it was released in the UK. Very good as well.

I can already hear the howls of derision in certain quarters when I heard it was being aired on terrestrial TV.

Awesome and moving film.

I found it at amazon for a mere $15. I went shopping around, bought a bunch of flicks and forgot to order it. Came back, saw this thread, slapped forehead and scampered back to order it. Tried to combine with the rest, was unable to do so. So now it'll be in it's own little box, winging it's way to me, hopefully before the day is out.

Thanks to 01101001 we have the list of threads here.

discovery channel had something similar yesterday.

Sigh you all get it on TV, we only got it in a handfull of theatres, and unfortunately not the one here. Have to wait for it to come out on Zone 4 DVD (yeah right) or hope to catch it while I'm in the States (which will be end of the month, woohoo!)

I was so looking forward to it coming to UK tv, but I forgot when it was on and we were away at the time and I forgot to set the digital TV recorder. However, I have looked it up on Channel 4 On Demand and it is still there and so it is now streaming to download as I write this!!! Can't wait!!!! Only 671Mb, and 150mb done already....

Why wait for a specific region release? It's easy to bypass region encoding, without breaking any laws!

First, buy a cheap, unknown-brand DVD player. (These are so cheap these days, you can probably find one in your next box of cereal.)

Next, "google" that brand and model number. There are sites that will describe how to turn off region-encoding for that brand. (And no, that doesn't involve exotic tools, not even a screwdriver. Just a sequence of button-presses on the remote control.)

Lastly, press that sequence of buttons, and voila, you can watch any DVD from any region.

OK, so you should probably look up the codes before you buy a particular player, just in case you get one that doesn't "unlock". Do not buy a well-known brand - these seldom if ever have unlock codes, because the appropriate licencing body checks up on them more carefully.

And it's not (AFAIK, IANAL) illegal, because featuring an unlocking ability is a contractual matter between the maker and the body that licences the DVD brand. You're not allowed to use the DVD logo if you don't permanently lock your player at the factory.

Of course, I could be wrong. The DMCA is both draconian and overly broad, so USAians might not be able to do this legally.

I owned a DVD player--well, I still do, but it's currently pretending there's no such thing as a DVD--that bragged about being region-free. It's possible to buy them with no having to look anything up involved. It told me the code in the owner's manual.

Yeah, unforunately, that's the risk of buying el-cheapo brands, I shoulda mentioned it: The quality often stinks (like a rotten herring's underwear in a heatwave.)

I didn't know there were brands so open about being region-free. No such thing here, AFAIK.

Folks, I have just finished watching In The Shadow Of The Moon and I have to say it's superb. I also have to admit that at least a couple of times I got a little misty watching, as I recalled my own experience of watching these events unfold. I was 12 when Apollo 11 made it's journey and at 51, although it seems clichéd, I really do remember it as if it were yesterday.

What a fantastic set of achievements those missions were. They truly, and perhaps for the first time, brought the world together to the point where we could say "WE did this"

Outstanding. I can recommend this movie to everyone. It should be required viewing in schools, as an inspirational example of what human beings can do when they rise out of the muck, greed and despair that has become the focus of our lives. Those men (and the many thousands supporting them) were true heroes in every sense of the word, because they gave us the unique and unforgettable view of ourselves from afar and in one fell swoop we saw how tiny and fragile we are and yet look what we can do if we try.

Yes, yes it is. I just bought the DVD myself. It's another one I'll always wonder what it would have been like on the big screen.

Unfortunately this is the third thread about it. Not it it doesn't deserve three threads. And this one is actually in the right forum.

Great to see the astronauts talking about their experiences. I just wish it'd been longer.

Philips is not an el-cheapo brand of DVD player. The last two I've purchased (2004 and just recently) have been reprogrammable for region-free. The reprogramming can be done from the remote using a particular sequence of commands and keys.

The first is now in the bedroom. The second was purchased for HD compatibility. Both play just fine.

Received the DVD this evening.

Was a bit apprehensive when when I saw the "Discovery Films" logo displayed. This apprehension was confirmed by the opening shot of the Moon as seen from the Earth (with clouds passing in front of the Moon) where the film/video is flipped, i.e., we see a mirror image of the Moon.



But despite the usual narrative mistakes and bungled stock footage, what makes this documentary quite good is the commentary by the Apollo astronauts, which is, for the most part, wonderful. Mike Collins is a wit and had me smiling and nodding in agreement.

Can't say I enjoyed the pro-ID/evangelistic comments by Cernan and Duke at the end, but these were nicely offset by Collins, Lovell, Scott, Young, and Bean, who followed with more firmly-grounded summaries of what they thought of their experiences.

And the zingers aimed by the men who had been to the Moon at those pathetic CTers were right on target.

I found it refreshing that such comments were'nt edited out to try to ''remain neutral'. And it was balanced, like you said. You want them to go back and edit the Apollo8 transcripts too? You want them to change their beliefs? Or are they supposed to just keep quiet about it for your enjoyment? It's their show.

Where did I write I wanted them to edit or change?

I just listed what I enjoyed and what I didn't.

Well, shame on you!!!

Oh, more than that. I think I just merged about six of them, and I still left one because it was more about the CT aspects.
