For All Mankind
The documentary provides a testament to NASA's Apollo program of the 1960s and '70s. The score by Brian Eno underscores the strangeness, wonder, and and beauty of the astronauts' experiences, experiences which they were privileged to have for a first time 'for all mankind.'

Apparently, grown men tend to act the same on the moon. One astronaut in mid-leap shouts "Ya-hoo!" If youre not smiling while you watch that, youve obviously never dreamed.
