Trivia
The release was timed to happen in the month of the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11, the first manned mission to land on the Moon.

Goofs
In Part 2 when Borman was reciting from Genesis while orbiting the moon (Apollo 8, December 24, 1968), context shots from Earth showed a gibbous moon (between 3rd quarter and full) when in fact the moon was just past first quarter (~30% illuminated).

Alternate versions
In the Netherlands this was shown as a 6-part TV series, between July 15th and July 20th 2019, each episode being about 51-52 minutes long.
