It goes into the visceral experiences an astronaut goes through,like family opinions, a wives viewpoint etc. SINCE I worked on space related equipment,I noticed all the electrical plugs and connectors.Interesting how the guys suited up and connected to the spacecraft.I think the film was good at emphasizing all the details.I remember watching the moon landing on tv in July 1969.That was kind of thrilling but didn't get to see much detail.

We too watched the landing live - Victor Khomenko 15:05:02 05/02/19 (0)
Our university's summer camp was close to Hungarian border, so we watched their TV.
The USSR was I believe the only country in the world that did not show it.
It wasn't even in the news, so pissed were the Russians, suffering one huge failure of their monstrous N1 rocket after another.
After the landing their estimates was calling for them being about 5 years behind, but by all accounts that was hugely optimistic estimate.
Big part of the problem lies squarely on their chief designer Korolev. It was he, who kept pushing the ridiculous N1 over the far more reliable UR-700, with disastrous results. He was also responsible for poor choice of the lunar ship design.
After 4 unsuccessful N1 launches they gave up on their Moon program. I think they were more than 10 years behind, because they had no suitable rocket at all.
