From the Earth to the Moon
A dramatization of NASA's Apollo program: the project whose initial aim was to set foot on the Moon, and get there before the Soviets. We see its origins in the Mercury and Gemini programs and the achievements of those programs, the research, development and testing involved in the Apollo program, the main characters involved, the incidents, the progress made, the first Moon landing and the subsequent missions.

From the Earth to the Moon is one of the finest docudramas ever produced about the space program, and it brilliantly recaptures the imagination and awe that defined humanity’s first steps beyond our planet. The series brings back the wonder, mystery, danger, and innovation of the Apollo era, showing not just the triumphs but the failures, setbacks, and extraordinary human effort required to reach the Moon. By weaving historical accuracy with dramatic storytelling, it makes the viewer feel as though they’re witnessing history unfold in real time.
Each episode focuses on a different aspect of the Apollo program—engineering breakthroughs, political battles, astronaut training, scientific discovery—and together they form a vivid mosaic of how we got from dream to reality. As a docudrama, it’s engaging without sacrificing authenticity, making the complex accessible and the familiar thrilling again.
I absolutely loved this series. It inspired a new generation, reminding us why space exploration matters and how far determination can take us.
