It features quite a few of the same scenes, alas in lower visual fidelity.
Description:
This film details the comprehensive coverage surrounding the July 1969 launch of Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the moon. The film details activities of both the astronauts and mission control during pre-launch and launch sequences, daily activities aboard the spacecraft and the moonwalk, and provides a view of the historical and cultural events of the time. The footage includes clips from science fiction television shows such as "Flash Gordon" and "Buck Rogers," as well as a lengthy segment on American rocket pioneer Robert Goddard. The film also explores some of the critical preliminary stages of the Apollo program, including medical testing of the human body in space conditions, as well as the assembly and testing of space suits as worn by the astronauts.

- AndrewOMartin 7y agoUK based people with a TV license can watch "8 days to the moon and back" on BBC iPlayer. I've seen both Apollo 11 and 8 days to the moon and back, and while there are stylistic differences, the power is much the same. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0006p5f/8-days-to-the-moon-and-back https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0006p5f/8-days-to-the...
- scott_s 7y ago"Apollo 11" is available for purchase, both digitally and physically. It's one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, as it creates a narrative out of the footage without using any interviews or actual narration.
