First Man, by Robert Pearlman

The biggest point of contention is that First Man's technical aspects aren't quite as clear cut as some media outlets would like. First Man's description of the mission includes an "unfortunate little piece of the Apollo program that looks like the story of a giant alien invasion." But the video then goes on to say that First Man actually had the "biggest space-launch ever." That's a lot of space, and a lot of space. But we won't go into that here. First Man is also the first movie to do in-depth technical details about how the Apollo Program worked, and that details are pretty clear (though it's been a while since I've heard of one such detail). First Man also has some interesting technical details on the Apollo Shuttle Mission. (The space shuttle is actually called the "Space Shuttle Mission," and First Man explains more about the mission later on in the video).

First Man also details the Apollo Shuttle Mission's technical details as well. "The Shuttle was designed to take off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a test flight in October 1965, after landing in a giant hole at the bottom of the ocean. The shuttle's first stage, the Shuttle Stage 3, was the first craft to be tested on a test flight from orbit to low Earth orbit. In order to demonstrate this new mission, the team of experts from NASA spent four months in Cape Canaveral in the summer of 1965 to fly the shuttle and launch it into space. The Shuttle Stage 3, which had been on the test flight for nearly four weeks, was in the air when it was launched. Engineers used the Shuttle Stage 3 to test the Apollo 1 mission, which was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral in January 1966. First Man explained that first stage was used to simulate spaceflight. "This stage of the Shuttle used a large, black-tipped cannon. The cannon was fired from a ship, which was then launched into space as the shuttle was about to fly into orbit. This cannon was used to simulate the flight of the shuttle, a very simple flight. The cannon was also used to simulate a series of small rocket engines, which would have been powered by a special rocket engine called a "rocket motor. The rockets used the rocket motor to generate thrust and fire rockets to accelerate the Space Shuttle. When the Shuttle exploded, it was the first time a rocket engine had ever been used in space as the Shuttle had the best launch capability of any spacecraft in history."
