"...what the BBC captures in 13 Minutes to the Moon is the sheer ambition that propelled America’s missions to the stars. Kevin Fong takes us to the moon on Apollo 11 with thorough research, original newsreel, and a cinematic soundscape by the film composer Hans Zimmer. Season two is equally compelling. It covers the near-disastrous Apollo 13 mission in chilling detail."
