Top Reviews Review created: 05/25/07 by: 11 of 12 people found this review helpful. The blow-by-blow account of mankind's third attempt to land a man on the moon, as told from the prespective of the mission commander himself. The real-life characters of this event leap from the celluiod in a nonstop, action-packed, Hollywood blockbuster, and popularized the term, "Failure is Not an Option". It should be required viewing for every middle school student. Review ID: 10000000003630594 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
