10 years of editing. 6 million feet of NASA footage. Brian Eno score.
Al Reinert spent 10 years editing 6 million feet of NASA 16mm film footage into a single, dreamlike 80-minute experience that composites all nine Apollo missions into one transcendent journey. There's no narration track — only the astronauts' own voices from mission audio and later interviews, set against Brian Eno's ambient score. The result is less documentary and more meditation. You feel the Saturn V shake your chest, see Earth shrink in the window, and hear grown men struggle to describe what they're seeing. It's the closest most of us will ever get to spaceflight.
