About this movie

At the heart of the Apollo space program was the team in Mission Control. They came from the farms and smokestack towns of 20th-century America, but from these humble beginnings came the extraordinary team who helped put a man on the moon.

Ratings and reviews

Mission Control is a real human interest documentary on NASA's Manned Spaceflight history from the perspective of mission controllers. It offers insight into the people involved including astronauts, but if you're wanting more depth from a scientific view, this isn't your documentary. While it is less focused on the astronauts than In The Shadow of The Moon, it's interesting to see particular individuals less known. The recordings of conversations are not always in line with the videos shown, but overall a good program.

Moon landings were all fake. NASA lied.

I had to immediately watch Apollo 13 after this. Amazing film.
