This is a fantastic short 4-part series by Bill Whittle about Apollo 11, but also about American exceptionalism, ingenuity and all things space race.

Each episode is an hour plus. Check it out.

For those of you who haven't watched this yet...

















































What in the holy hell are you waiting for?

BW, as usual, is as hollohas said, fantastic. Seriously. You need to watch this. Especially you fellow boomers.

I'm a first-year Gen X'er, but I think I have a lot in common with the Boomers. The toys discussed and hitting an entire roll of caps with a hammer, yeah, I did that stuff.

A lot of the content was covered in the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, but you could tell how emotionally connected Bill Whittle was to those events. It was an interesting watch.

Thanks to hollohas for bringing attention to this.
