When We Left Earth- NASA Documentary

A few days ago I started watching a documentary called When We Left Earth. Its about the history of NASA accomplishing space missions. I'm on episode 5 (there are 6 episodes), and in my opinion it is one of the most interesting documentaries if you are interested in outer space and spacecrafts. Most documentaries are pretty interesting to me, but this one really makes the viewers get emotional. Not emotional as in it makes people teary, but when someone does something that messes up the whole mission you get worked up, and when a person makes a record or a mission is accomplished you feel really proud. It feels more like a very long movie chunked in parts. I don't know if it is still on Discovery Channel, but I watched it through Amazon.
A summary of the episodes so far:

  • Project Mercury
    • Alan Shephard
    • Liberty Bell 7
  • Project Gemini
    • Missions tested towards goal of traveling to moon
  • Apollo
    • Challenger tragedy
    • First man of moon
There is much more of a story than what I wrote. Just trying to spoil a lot.
