About

You can stream When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions (2008) on Philo with a subscription.

A miniseries documenting American human spaceflight, spanning from the first Mercury flights through the Gemini program to the Apollo moon landings, the Space Shuttle, and the construction of the International Space Station. It was created in association with NASA to commemorate the agency's fiftieth anniversary in 2008.

Forget dry, academic lectures for a cinematic journey through the most daring era of human flight. Actual astronauts recount their lunar steps and shuttle orbits with an intimacy that makes the vacuum of space feel terrifyingly close.
