Good timing for that article, as last night I watched the documentary 'For All Mankind', a film about the Apollo program with footage from all six lunar missions, stitched together to make one story.

Oh, and did I mention Brian Eno did the soundtrack? That's also a must-listen, especially the piece "Always Returning", which is used to great effect in the film.

Here it is on YouTube:
