John m. Jackson can make a difference in a low brow movie, TV show, and is one of a kind. They through the mold away when he was made. And people he is his own man. He does not look like that guy. Besides that he's a good old boy, and he reminds me of my family of men. And besides from the fact he's a southerner from the new south, like I am. I'm stuck in NYC and there are no good men, much less any Texans, Louisiana, Alabama or Georgians. Come here southern men. I'm moving to Austin, TX 18 mont

great series. take apollo 13, and band of brothers, and make it about the space race.. mix in some very well known actors.. and this is what you end up with. i have been waiting for this to come to streaming/digital for years. and am very glad its finally here, the updated CGI is appreciated as the original was over 20 years old and hadnt aged well. *Edit* can't purchase the whole series in HD anymore, only SD

As a bit of a space nut I can say this is something I remeber very fondly as a small lad in love with space travel and it does not disappoint to rewatch anymore. Hosted by Tom Hanks Fresh off the heels of the movie Apollo 13 this mini series is inspirational and insightful. A must have for that space nut of any age in your family or history Buff
