That's from the six-part series Moon Machines. It's a great look at the research and scientific work that went into the Apollo lunar program, and the focus is on the men and women behind the scenes, rather than the astronauts and other people at NASA. Well worth watching if the lunar program is a subject of interest.

This is another good time to remind those interested in the Apollo missions that the Moon Machines series provides a great look at the non-astronaut people and work that went into the effort.

Excellent chapter from the documentary Moon Machines about the Apollo guidance software (worth getting the whole thing on Amazon if you like this sort of thing), told from the point of view of the people who built the machines, rather than the astronauts.
