Default Apollo Video

For All Mankind great video, a little old, but still awesome. NB warning though as it's a 20 minute streaming video.

Sound is fine for me, though I could do without the bogus sound effects added to the launch imagery.

There's also a full-length feature video named For All Mankind, which is available on DVD. It contains much of the color film footage the Apollo astronauts took on their missions, and is gorgeous. Near the end, you actually felt like you'd been walking around on the lunar surface with them.

I did get low sound quality myself, but it was there. Hope it still was OK visually.

Ah, yes, the one film no self-respecting space geek should be without.
