There's a wonderful miniseries called "From the Earth to the Moon" which is sort of a dramatic retelling of the Apollo program. Think the "Apollo 13" movie, but longer and more diverse. My favourite episode, "That's All There Is" (#7) is told from Alan Bean's perspective. It portrays him, and the entire crew, as an amazingly capable, funny, and tight-knit group. The entire episode has a humorous tone which, after my impression from watching several interviews with Al bean, probably fits his personality. If you're an aerospace nerd like me, you'll love it. I probably watch the whole series several times a year.
