Hey Apollo 11 fans, I'm not sure how this can be true given its awesomeness, but the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon is available as a DVD box set for $10. One reviewer claims that this set uses cropping to achieve a 16:9 aspect ratio when it was originally filmed in 4:3, which is a bit disappointing, but somehow I'm not distressed.

And there's always Ron Howard's Apollo 13, which, c'mon, is pretty great. I guess I should probably see The Right Stuff too, while I'm at it.
