I, too, watched the Moon Landing on television in 1969 and was glad to have seen this film, although I agree with Dave that the shaky, ultra-close up, hand-held camera work was disconcerting to me. I do not like that trend in cinema.
I knew it was coming, but the fiery deaths of Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee really shook me, as it did when it happened in 1967. I heard the news over Armed Forces Radio in Vietnam and then read about it in Stars & Stripes. Having been avidly following the space program from the beginning, it was like losing friends.
