5/5 Amazing
  by Arthur Rambo
Wonderful. I loved it. Makes you understand what engineering is really about: challenges, ideas and solutions. The emphasis is - rightly - placed on audaciousness, creativity, (technical) knowledge, tenacity and probably, beyond everything, talent and the human touch needed for dreams to come through. The documentaries abound in really touching moments, especially when the people involved in the projects describe how challenging it was, sometimes from a personal point of view (divorces, not seeing the kids grow,...) and how they were relieved when things worked according to expectations. Behind any complex engineering project, there are men and women, with their dreams, aspirations, fears and emotions, and these documentaries are a wonderful testimony to this. As I said, I loved it and strongly recommend this DVD. It should be seen in any engineering school.

5/5 Moon Machines is Unbelievably Wonderful - No exaggeration!
  by Annette Labrecque (Huntsville, AL)
Moon Machines is amazing in that the engineers, the people who made the Space Program what it is, share their experience, their deep passion,devotion and memories in this very well made documentary. My husband and I live in Huntsville Alabama, near the Marshall Space Centre and have had the opportunity to surround ourselves with some of our local NASA engineers, people who work for the supporting industry of space technology and developers through the Von Braun Astronomical Society ([...]) and have great admiration for the accomplishments that revolutionized the world of technology. Some of our members personally know the men and women who are in the Moon Machines DVD Series. Each Episode offers a fascinating look into how the the Saturn V and it's upper stages, the Command Module, the Lunar Module, The instrument Ring, the F1 engine, the J2 engines, how the space suits were developed, the gyroscope developed at MIT that guided the apollo capsule around the moon, and so much more! The Saturn V and the incredible, complex issues that had to be resolved in order to go! Again, told by the people who made the decisions and who together piled up all the stages of the Moon Machine Rocket, the most powerful still yet and fired it in one piece at Cape Canaveral watching millions of parts, wirings, new designs fire successfully!
Moon Machines is a must for your collection if you want to hear the story told by the people who devoted their lives as well as their family's to bring us into the Space Age.
You will guard this one preciously! We promise! And, by the way, told in very humorous ways at times too. Captivating for sure!

5/5 good tool for learning
  by G. Sandifer (Houston, Tx USA)
Moon Machines is an outstanding program. It tells the story behind the scenes of the moon missions that most other programs don't feature. Shows details on how the space suits, guidance system, lunar module and other key hardware were designed & built. A must for air & space lovers

5/5 As Good As It Gets
  by Michael Burton (Columbus, OH USA)
Years ago, I heard or read one of the Apollo astronauts deflecting hero worship. I don't remember which astronaut it was, and I certainly don't remember his exact words, but what he said was essentially this: "I'm just an ordinary man. I can't walk on the moon. But there were thousands of people who designed, built and operated these amazing machines that were capable of carrying human beings to the moon and bringing them back safely, and I was just lucky enough to be one of the guys who got to take that ride."

Though he certainly understates the contribution of the astronauts themselves, he's right about the thousands of people on the ground. This series of six programs looks at the machines and the men and women behind them: the Saturn V rocket, the guidance computers, the command and service module, the lunar module, the lunar rover, and the space suits.

I've been a space nut for a long time, but almost everything here is new to me. The programs are packed with information, from unseen archival film and interviews with the people who did the work. Production values are absolutely first-rate. I've seen a lot of documentaries about Project Apollo, and this is one of the best. I watched it all in a single sitting, and at the end of each episode, I caught myself saying aloud, "This is GREAT!"

I couldn't recommend it more highly.

5/5 One of the best moon landing documentaries
  by ooby (sf bay area, ca)
The material on this documentary is very interesting- worth multiple viewings to understand it all. You'll be saying to yourself "That's how they did it" over and over again. The background music is cool. If you've ever wondered how they developed the major machines needed to make the moon landings possible, this is the best documentary to date. The facts presented put alot of the moon landing hoax theories to rest. My favorite episode is the lunar Rover with the lunar lander in close second. Highly recommended.
