This collection combines top programming from A&E and The History Channel to commemorate the 35th anniversary celebration of this world-changing event.
Episodes include:

Failure Is Not an Option
Retired NASA flight director Gene Kranz recalls the "whiz kid" atmosphere of the space program's early days, where people in their 20s were put in positions of enormous responsibility, and shows how the extraordinary exploits of the astronauts were supported by equally impressive work on the ground. Based on Kranz's acclaimed memoir of the same name, this program offers a behind-the-scenes look at the early years of NASA, highlighting defining moments such as John Glenn's historic first flight, the moon landing and the "successful failure" of Apollo 13. Narrated by actor Scott Glenn.
Modern Marvels: Apollo 13
They really shouldn't have survived. When an oxygen tank exploded in the command module of Apollo 13, the prospects for the three astronauts aboard were exceedingly grim. But they defied the odds. Even under the best circumstances, a space mission is an extraordinary accomplishment. But the conditions faced by the crew of Apollo 13 make the story of their survival very memorable. With interviews from space agency veterans and NASA's own mission records, viewers will learn how scientists and engineers on the ground pored over every detail of the spacecraft's electrical, navigational and propulsion systems to devise a workable way to save the crew, and how the daring and skill of the astronauts made the scheme a success.
History Undercover: Code Name -- Project Orion
In this program, recently declassified documents reveal the grand dreams that accompanied the dawn of the space age and how NASA had plans to go far beyond the moon. Viewers will hear from scientist Freeman Dyson, one of the most inventive physicists of his day, who worked closely on the deep-space project in the 1950s, along with Los Alamos scientist Theodore B. Taylor. Dyson reveals that "our motto was, 'Mars by 1965, Saturn by 1970.'" Though they did not achieve their goals, the work they did was invaluable to the development of the U.S. space program.
Modern Marvels: The Space Shuttle
For generations, scientists and science fiction writers alike dreamed of a reusable "space plane" -- a durable, maneuverable ship that would make trips to the heavens commonplace. This program tells the complete story of the Shuttle, from its conception in the 1950s to its triumphant launch in 1981. Expert interviews, computer simulations and mission footage offer an insider's view of its successes and failures, including the devastating Challenger disaster that nearly grounded the Shuttle program forever. Finally, NASA officials offer an exclusive peek at the next generation Space Shuttle -- the futuristic X-33.
