This episodes captures some of the early debates and problems-to-overcome in the early space program. Highly "Hollywooded", and some of the depictions of the spacecraft are hilarious (if Armstrong had seperated his Gemini 8 capsule from the Agena while spinning like that, both vehicles would've been destroyed. He had to gain control enough to virtually stop the spinning for a brief moment and Scott had to press the separation button with split-second timing). But, it still manages to get the gist of the era.
Of note- Al Franken plays a whiney, weasley little jerk here. He "plays" those so well..........(no acting ability needed).
