Space exploration

The best of these needed no narrator at all. Apollo 11 is cut entirely from 70mm footage and mission audio nobody had looked at in fifty years, and For All Mankind puts astronauts' own voices over their own film. Challenger and the Columbia film are the other half of it, where the same organisation knew and flew anyway.
