Tuned out after 30 minutes

What a boring piece of work this is. You've got an hour and a half to cover an entire decade, and for the first twenty plus minutes, all they show is the Apollo 13 mission. Granted, that was a huge story, but they could have (and should have) shortened that bit by a good 15 minutes. And what's up with the extremely weird background music??? Finally, we get passed Apollo and what's next? Skylab...followed by details of the Viking mission to Mars. Did NASA produce this film???

I wanted to change the tv after 30 minutes, but for some reason, the wife wanted to keep going. I pulled out my phone and started playing a game. This is one of the worst documentaries (or whatever this is supposed to be) I've ever seen. Way way way too much detail on all the NASA stuff that was totally unnecessary.

Disappointed!

Warning: Spoilers
The documentary focuses on nasa, the energy crisis & Richard Nixon for the first hour of its hour and a half running time!! That time could have been used to get a lot more of the culture and fashions of the 1070's in! Going over Apollo disaster was a given, but to then go into other aspects of nasa with unnecessary video clips is what took too long there! VH-1 has done better jobs with covering decades in shorter time frames than this does! We don't need to see Nixon's resignation speech!

It gets to the two hundredth celebration of our country & is another video showed that was produced for 1976!! To this point, this makes you think that nothing else happened during the first half of the 1970's but these things! Again, no mention of any actual culture by an hour and six mins! Very disappointing!!
