My review for the worst space documentary I have ever seen

The Space Movie (1980)

It has an 8.1 on IMDB, every comment praises it and says the soundtrack is terrific. I gave it a 3. Here is my addition.

"One of the most annoying aspects of this poorly produced "documentary"
is its abysmal editing. Aside from the utter lack of chronological
presentation (showing a shuttle orbiter test flight before the Apollo
11 splashdown is more than a bit confusing), there seems to be a lack
of knowledge that the Apollo and Gemini programs were not the same, and
that maybe they shouldn't intercut video of the slender black Gemini
capsule with that of the much larger Apollo command module. The near
total absence of narration does not help this problem in the least.
Also, who decided that the only footage of astronauts to be shown would
be people just dicking around on the surface of the moon, or playing
catch and spinning around inside Skylab? What about science? The
narrator mentions that we spent two billion dollars on the Skylab
project, apparently because it was a neat idea. There is never any
mention of the purpose of these various NASA programs, and never a
mention of Gemini, despite the program's capsules appearing as
stand-ins for the Apollo CM from time to time.

As pointed out earlier they do mention the shuttle. However, they also
include this line during it's brief segment. "While testing, it was
launched from the back of a 747 to service Skylab and return safely to
the earth." There are two major issues with that statement. Let's begin
with the "launched from the back of a 747" part. While technically a
launch, the orbiter pictured in the video is the 'Enterprise' "Approach
and Landing Test" vehicle. (i.e. it was never intended, or structurally
capable of enduring the forces present in either a real launch or
re-entry). That, and the orbiter cannot be launched into space from a
747, especially when it lacks the necessary rocket engines. The bit
about servicing Skylab was apparently an idea at NASA, but due to
Skylab's reentry and destruction in the upper atmosphere in July, 1979,
this would be impossible. Considering this films release date, you
would think they should have known this.

The entire movie is just one huge example of how little the producers
actually knew about NASA. It's as if they took a bunch of NASA stock
footage, set it to an intrusively loud, overbearing, inappropriate
soundtrack, added some inane comments about what food the Apollo-Soyuz
astronauts/cosmonauts ate during their mission and released it to
frolic with all the factually incorrect school textbooks floating
around the country. There are really too many errors and omissions in
the seemingly random mix of footage to note here, or probably for me to
notice. But I assure you, if I did not know better I would be dumber
for having seen this pathetic presentation about my country's space
program."
