- NASA missions as told by the AstronautsThis is a collection of many of NASA mission documentation, such as photos and films, with the verbal comments of the astronauts that flew them. It covers all the major space flights, starting with the X-15 and Mercury, and ends with the latest Shuttle mission to the International Space Station. It also includes very rare interviews with astronauts that are not seen publicly but were part of NASA's history. My favorites were Neil Armstrong on the X-15 and John Young on the Columbia Space Shuttle. ... Read More

- Incredible!This might be the most extraordinary documentary I've ever seen; the original archive footage is vivid, and it's especially clear when you play the DVDs on a large screen. The interviews add special insight into what the people involved with NASA's beginnings have really accomplished. For me, the most moving segments were the ones depicting the Apollo moon landings and struggles of the space shuttle program. For anyone with an interest in space exploration or engineering, I would highly recommend ... Read More

- BEWARE, this is NOT the 4 disc version with bonus contentWhen We Left Earth: The NASA Missions is a great production done by the Discovery Channel on the early years of NASA to today.

- Two reasons to buy this DVDThe first reason to buy this DVD has already been covered in other reviews. The picture is superior to previous NASA documentaries.
The second reason is that the makers of the film somehow managed to get Neal Armstrong to contribute on screen commentary of his experiences on both Gemini 8 and Apollo 11. His commentary ends when program gets to the part where he begins his historic first walk on the Moon. Still, it is great to finally see him in a documentary of this type.

- Excellant DVD series,questionable marketing....While I didn't watch much of the series recently shown on The Discovery Channel, I did purchase this set and enjoyed watching it. However, if I'd know this was just a DVD-R purchase I would have waited until September when the DVD will be released.
Just like Paramount did with the Star Trek series, The Discovery Channel rushed this to market and upped the price. I could have produced a better DVD-R set with my recording devices (I use Roxio Suite 10 Deluxe Edition sold here at Amazon). I would have ... Read More
