From the Earth to the Moon - The Original Wives' Club

Today on Discovery Enterprise we present the eleventh episode of the acclaimed twelve-part HBO television miniseries From the Earth to the Moon – The Original Wives' Club.

This   episode presents the Apollo program from the point of view of the nine wives of NASA's second group of astronauts, from 1962 beyond the end of the program. The burdens placed on them include maintaining a home while presenting a positive image to the news media, shielding their husbands from any family concerns which could affect their position in the flight rotation or ability to return to Earth safely, and comforting each other in the face of tragedy.

“From the Earth to the Moon” is a twelve part HBO television miniseries co-produced by Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, Tom Hanks, and Michael Bostick detailing the landmark Apollo expeditions to the Moon during the 1960s and early 1970s. Largely based on Andrew Chaikin's book, A Man on the Moon, the series is known for its accurate telling of the story of Apollo and outstanding special effects.

From The Earth to the Moon (the Signature Edition) is available on DVD from Amazon .com.
