I enjoyed the footage. If you’re wanting for more detail this is a great series: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/saving-apollo-13/id1506563333

BBC's "13 Minutes to the Moon" does a killer season on this topic, as well. Free to access on their app.

The feature film from the 1990s still gets a lot of love in my family. When my nephews were younger, the liftoff sequence was regularly on repeat in their house.
