This is the only other TV show I watch besides OUAT and they seem to keep it just barely good enough to keep me watching. It reminds me a lot of the old Time Tunnel show. I liked the fact that they did an episode about Apollo 11 and it was good to see them focus on Katherine Johnson but I was annoyed by some of the needless errors in the episode.Why were we supposed to think that messing with the computers would somehow affect the radios? That made no sense at all. Besides, Buzz Aldrin was known as “Dr. Rendezvous” because he had worked out pre-computed rendezvous calculations on a set of “cheat sheets” which they could have used to link up with the command module even without communication from Earth. The spacecraft also had a sextant for navigation so they could have navigated back to Earth without radios, although they obviously preferred the much safer option of getting more precise data radioed from Earth.
Why did they show film footage (which wasn’t developed until they got back to Earth) of the descent to the Moon on the screen in Mission Control, making it look like a TV transmission, when there was no TV transmission of the descent? (The TV camera wasn’t unpacked until Armstrong began to climb down the ladder.) It would have been easier to just leave out that footage but instead they went to a fair amount of trouble to splice in the film footage and intentionally make the show wrong!
Also, at one point they showed an old film of John Glenn’s flight which was supposed to be a TV transmission of Neil Armstrong. Things like that really distract from the story.
