Review Wanted: For All Mankind

I'm contemplating buying this Criterion sight unseen and would like some feedback please. Is it a very informative documentary which is also engaging or is it somewhat dull like something you'd be forced to watch in school and would make you fall asleep. I'm pretty interested in space exploration and whatnot and the extras seem pretty good. I've also heard the video isn't that great...is it really that bad or is it easily watchable? Thanks

If you have any interest in the space program, get this DVD. And it does contain the actual NASA footage newly restored for DVD viewing. The documentary is very infomative and I believe it has won an award for the best documentary.
