Moonwalk One

Moonwalk One

Moonwalk One, disappointing.

The notion of unseen footage of anything to do with going into space is for me a very compelling watch. However, in this case the highly advertised and waited for program on the Discovery channel just left me looking for the remote to switch over within the first 10 minutes.

The NASA “technical” camera coverage was superb, the small and large footage of the take off, module separations and in space shots were something else; but unfortunately ran to only ~20mins worth. The rest of the program, another 30 minutes or more was utter drivel – long shots of nothing to do with space, mind numbing music and a voice over that made you feel like you were in 2010 a space odyssey!

A short program on the 20 minutes of quality footage would have easily been better than the drawn out waste of airtime I watched.

Discovery, we have a problem!
