Nova (PBS) : "To the Moon" is about the Gemini and Apollo space programs, and the debate at NASA and at Langley Research Center. The scientists working under Wernher Von Braun were debating furiously about the "mode" to get to the moon, and eventually decided on a method, Lunar Orbit Rendevous, which was advocated by an outsider, John C Houbolt. Very interesting show.
I also like "The Civil War" by Ken Burns, and "Lewis and Clark, the Journey of Discovery"
