I was also pleasantly surprised by the film, Mission Control, which focused on the mission control staff during the Apollo missions, rather than focusing on astronauts and scientists. Fascinating lessons in "ops management" embedded in the collective experiences of that staff. The film also has amazing production quality for reliving the struggles and successes of those missions, and especially how the suspenseful moments felt "on the ground".
