Have you been watching this documentary?

Discovery Channel's series When We Left The Earth is worth your time. I grew up with the Apollo missions, and watching this series has taken me back in time. As a nine year old seeing Neil Armstrong utter his famous "One step for man..." as he ambled from the lunar module, I didn't realize what an engineering feat the moon landing was. Amazing.

We can put a man on the moon, but we can't we make cars that get better fuel mileage. WTF is with that?

P and I watched the first episode but I haven't seen any since then.
I remember watching the Apollo launch from my back yard in FL. The moonwalk was the day before my fifth birthday.
