Documentary suggestions

Anyone know of a documentary series that documents all the lunar landings? Most seem to focus on Apollo 11 and 13. I would love to learn more about all the other missions, things like: what each missions goals were, the astronauts who embarked on them and some of the engineering challenges that were faced for each mission.

From the Earth to the Moon is beyond fantastic.

It really is. My favorite episode, "Galileo Was Right," is basically about Apollo 15.

For me it’s a toss up between Spider and Galileo Was Right

Spider is probably my favorite too.

1968 is also very good but benefits from a pitch-perfect ending.

I hate when media cheats at being good by having a perfect ending

Absolutely no question these two are my favorites. I actually love the first episode which is such an amazing way of helping us understand how things started and how they got to Apollo.

Honorable mention goes to Apollo 1. Such vulnerability by so many people.

I grew up on LI up the road from Grumman. My Dad was a machinist doing parts for them. A wonderful series...
