	From the Earth to the Moon (HBO) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From the Earth to the Moon was a twelve-part HBO television miniseries (1998) co-produced by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Tom Hanks, and Michael Bostick detailing the landmark Apollo expeditions to the Moon during the 1960s and early 1970s.
		Largely based on Andrew Chaikin's book, A Man on the Moon, the series is known for its superbly accurate telling of the story of Apollo and outstanding special effects.
		The series takes its title from, but is not based upon, the famous Jules Verne science fiction novel, From the Earth to the Moon.

	THE DVD FILE: The Reviews Folder - From The Earth To The Moon
		From The Earth To The Moon is essentially the story of man's incredible journey to the surface of the moon.
		Eventually the focus was moved to the surface of the moon and of its composition.
		The moon rover itself is reason to watch this part and this part also proves there was some merit to the five return trips to the moon and gives insight into exactly what was found on the moon.

		Earth’s closest neighbors, Venus and Mars, became the first planets to be visited by spacecraft in the mid-1960s.
		The astronauts rode to the surface of the Moon in the ascent stage with the descent stage attached.
		Although the mission failed in its objective to land in the Moon’s Fra Mauro highlands, Apollo 13 was an extraordinary demonstration of the Apollo team’s ability to solve problems during a spaceflight.

	From the Earth to the Moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the 1998 HBO miniseries, see From the Earth to the Moon (HBO).
		From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la Terre à la Lune) is a humorous science fiction story written in 1865 by Jules Verne and is one of the earliest entries in that genre.
		The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and, considering the total lack of any data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are surprisingly close to reality.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "From the Earth to the Moon" on DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		HBO's remarkable four disc DVD set of the miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon" is such an event and I couldn't help but watch it filled with a sense of awe and pride at the accomplishments it recounts.
		"Earth" is a wonderful miniseries that was obviously a labor of love for those who made it - a list that includes Tom Hanks (whose vision the project was) and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment.
		Detailing Project Apollo's wildly successful mission to put humanity onto the Earth's moon, it focuses equally upon the technology and the people who ultimately pulled off what many consider to be mankind's greatest achievement.

		"From The Earth To The Moon" is a 12-hour long TV miniseries that was initiated and produced by Tom Hanks for HBO.
		Sadly, the interest in the space program and its goal was not born out of any scientific reasons or the curiosity to explore the moon, it was a pure political statement the American government wanted to make to emphasize America’s superiority over the communistic Soviets.
		Enthusiastic about their success so far, NASA started to Apollo program, whose ultimate goal was to take a crew to the moon, allow them to walk the moon’s surface and safely return them home to the Earth.

	DVD Verdict Review - From The Earth To The Moon: The Signature Edition
		The extras from the original set are mostly intact, with a polished HBO "First Look"–style featurette on the making of the series, a short special effects overview, some trailers (half the number from the old set), and a few text pieces (some of which had been hidden as DVD-ROM features on the old set).
		I am unsure why HBO would actually remove supplements from a new set, especially since these are all located on a separate disc, which must have plenty of spare room on it.
		What going to the moon really taught us was that we, being what we are, had to go to the moon.

	DVD Review - From the Earth to the Moon
		Following the HBO legal disclaimer screen and the HBO DVD logo, a nifty animated title graphic plays and then reveals a main menu screen (which is similar on all of the first three discs).
		All of NASA's hopes for the future (more moon missions, a lunar base, a manned mission to Mars) were dashed when Congress decided to pull the plug on its support and funding.
		To recreate the 1/6 gravity of the moon, actors were harnessed to giant helium balloons, adding just the right amount of bounce to their step.

	News@theLogBook.com - From The Earth To The Moon
		From The Earth To The Moon miniseries is a beautifully written and wonderfully executed vision of the American race to reach the moon.
		From The Earth To The Moon, executive-produced by Tom Hanks (who played the part of real-life astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13), takes the story of the entire Apollo program and expands it out to an epic twelve-hour, commercial free length, something which is necessary for a story of this complexity.
		Politics were always a huge influence on the race to the moon - face it, at the height of the Cold War, the race to the moon was entirely political and only secondarily scientific - and this episode demonstrates the behind-the-scenes machinations accurately.

		For those of you who are "space-buffs", as it were, from the earth to the moon is an excellent chronicle of the apollo program and the preceding developments.
		Beacuse it is a mini-series, it is unique in that for just a short time, you are brought back to the 1960´s and you can relive the eperience or experience it for the first time.
		But as a generous and definitive example of nonfiction drama, it´s full of the same kind of awe, inspiration, and humanity that led to "one giant leap" in the all-too-short history of 20th-century space exploration.

		In 1998, HBO Films in conjunction with Tom Hanks's production company, presented a 12-part mini-series about America's man-on-the-moon program, initiated in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy's challenge to the American people in response to the Soviet Union's swiftly-progressing space program.
		After Apollo 11, the next moon landing had to be an anticlimax--but the crew of Apollo 12 perform their mission with a good-natured attitude that infects this installment.
		Keeping all worries away from their husbands not to jeopardize their husbands' positions on the flightline and supporting each other during crises leads to strain for many of the wives: shy Pat White is uncomfortable with the publicity that surrounds the astronauts, Susan Borman begins drinking heavily, others feel alienated.

	Burning Love: Passion for Realism Fuels Effects in From The Earth To The Moon
		HBO's 12-part miniseries From The Earth To The Moon is a rare example of a TV-produced, big-budget, visual-effects smorgasbord.
		Depicting a trip across the moon's dark side meant combining elements based on actual NASA data and photographs with 2-D and CGI elements invented at Pacific Title/Mirage.
		Taritero notes that "we had reference material for this because when lunar modules orbited the moon they took photos continually." Images mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Lunar Planetary Institute, while not always high-resolution, became the basis for the displacement maps that were created to digitally simulate the moon's surface.

	From The Earth To The Moon
		During the two and a quarter hours that Armstrong was on the moon every opportunity to capture his image in quality photographs should have been taken.
		Aldrin was on the moon for a little over one hour and thirty minutes and apart from the deployment of the early ALSEP, his other objective should have been to record Armstrong during his own activities.
		Unfortunately all we have to record the first man to step onto the moon are a few photographs, that don't do the occasion justice, the grainy fl and white TV images and the images recorded on the Data Acquistion Camera (DAC) that are not very sharp.

		"From the Earth to the Moon" is one of the most unique and engrossing (as well as gorgeously produced) miniseries I've ever seen -- 12 hours of moving, dramatic, gripping, frightening, and ultimately completely inspiring entertainment.
		Consequently, for me "From the Earth to the Moon" is a combination of vague memories and new information.
		"From the Earth to the Moon" is not as informative as a documentary, but it certainly focus on the actual nuts and bolts of sending men to the moon.

		This objective will require knowledge, technology and materials that don't even exist yet, and hundreds or thousands of people will be required to create them...and this pledge has been made on the heels of a single fifteen-minute spaceflight, while the Soviets continue to leap ahead of their American counterparts at every turn.
		But some seventy years later, Apollo 17 - the last of the Apollo moon missions - has landed on the moon in December 1972, and astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt are performing the longest moonwalk in history.
		Melies' spectacular movie about a trip to the moon was eventually procured and copied en masse by Thomas Edison, robbing the French director of even the slightest portion of his film's financial rewards.

		To the jaded it may feel guilty of many things: romanticism, idealism, patriotism (or jingoism, if you insist), but even if that were true it presents a series of stories that have never been told before.
		Perhaps in a hundred years the quaintness and primitiveness of what had to be done to visit our nearest neighbor, the moon, might be seen as amusing instead of inspiring--but I don't think so.
		This series even makes the stories of the guys who built the lunar lander, the geologists who studied the moon rocks, and the wives of the astronauts as appealing and fulfilling as the triumphs and tragedies that are better known.
