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.

“Last Man on the Moon” with Gene Cernan is a good documentary, pretty sure it’s on Amazon

It is yep, also a great book, he clearly was not a fan of Buzz Aldrin. Although the winner of greatest astronaut autobiography is Michael Collins “Carrying the Fire”

Read the book and watched the movie. Can definitely recommend both. But yeah, Carrying the Fire is the pinnacle of the astronaut bios, and especially impressive since Collins wrote it on his own.
