Has anyone caught the series "Moon Machines" on the Science Channel this week?

It's Space Week, this week.

I watched the Apollo computer/G&N episode. I saw some Instrumentation Laboratory footage that was new to me. That was an amazing team. The Soviets had nothing comparable to that hardware or software.

That was great info on the Apollo 11 executive overflow alarms.

What I enjoyed was the totally different viewpoints given by the workers in the trenches. Much different than commentary provided by astronauts and flight controllers.

I found it to be very educational and enjoyable.

I watched it. I wish there was more HI DEF though. I thought there was alot of interesting film footage that I have never seen.

Is it available on DVD? I'd love to watch it without all those commercials!
