Rating:  - Very good

It was good to learn of the professionalism and hard work of mission control. The moon missions were incredible achievements, and equally ... Read More
Rating: - MOCR the Movie
"MOCR" is an acronym for Mission Operations Control Room and the 90 minute segment, "Failure Is Not An Option", is mainly about the people that worked behind the scenes in Mission Control.
Other than the dozens of Astronauts themselves, these men were working as a highly motivated team in Mission Control, as the NASA brain trust that made President Kennedy's vision to land a man on the Moon an astonishing reality.
I can't get enough of this kind of memorabilia from the space race ... Read More
