Entertainment Weekly reviews a new movie about the original Moon program (Entertainment Weekly - In the Shadow of the Moon):
Watching In the Shadow of the Moon, a transporting documentary in which astronauts from all the Apollo missions recall what it was like to travel to the moon and back (the film features sublime, never-before-released footage of their doing so), I experienced a feeling that came as a shock: not just the usual admiration and ooh-and-ah wonder, but a bedrock nostalgia for an age when technology could seem innocent - when it was infused, on a mass scale, with mystical humanist longing (sorry if I don't get that same feeling from YouTube).
I haven't experienced mystical humanist longing in a long time, so I think I'll check out this documentary.
