I found out a lot I didn’t know in that series.

I loved the alternative view he presented of the first steps on the moon, described from the vantage point of Buzz Aldrin and his camera shooting the scene through the window of the LEM looking down.

The part where he pointed out that in the whole time, you never saw either of their faces in the entire moonwalk, except...when Armstrong put his foot down and looked back up at Aldrin filming...you could just make out his face!

And how the entire moonwalk covered an area no greater than the infield of a baseball diamond!

I had no idea how close the mission came to disaster. The astronauts were seconds away from having an uncontrolled landing. Even had they survived, they could easily have been stranded on the moon. The dream would have become a nightmare that went on and on. I think we would have had to go back, just to collect the bodies.
