There's a fascinating story about Roger Chaffee. The Apollo 1 crew were visiting the factory that was building the CM, when Roger spotted a groups of men standing apart from the rest of the people there. He learned these were the men, who built the machines, that built the machines, that built the CM. He went over and spoke to them, and made them feel that they were the most important people there.

I am old enough to remember watching the first moonwalk. I have watched dozens and dozens of documentaries about all aspects of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. But I have never seen much of the footage that you used for this documentary. Man, I hope you turn your attention to other stories of the early space program, I. can't wait to see what you turn out. Stunning!!!!

Sorry to say I disagree. Whoever edited this apparently could not tell the difference between a Saturn IB and a Saturn V. Reaction shots of flight controllers were from other missions, edited in a way that these people appeared to be reacting to the fire. They were not. During the fire sequence, a shot was used looking OUT a Command Module window during a reentry, possibly Apollo 4 or Apollo 6. Those are just a few examples. This practice is nothing new in space program documentaries. I guess I was hoping this one would be different.

Sadly astronauts that visited North American Aviation in California to see construction of the Apollo command module complained to NASA management about shoddy construction. Obviously their complaints went unheeded a theme in the Challenger and Columbia tragedies: warnings about safety problems going unheeded.
