Film sequences are shown in the proper context as much as possible. When allowed by the original framing, the footage was manually cropped to 16:9, panning to preserve areas of interest. When not, 4:3 was maintained. No image details were lost.
Wide-angle interior Command Module footage was corrected to remove fisheye lens distortions.
The footage was AI remastered on some segments, besides the usual color correction. Ambient audio was recreated based on historical elements.
Period narration (from several documentaries and progress reports) is used in an attempt to capture the feeling of the times. Language and attitudes should be seen in that context.

============================================
Apollo 10 (May 18 – 26, 1969) was a human spaceflight, the fourth crewed mission in the United States Apollo program, and the second (after Apollo 8) to orbit the Moon. It was a "dress rehearsal" for the first Moon landing, testing all the components and procedures just short of actually landing.
While astronaut John Young remained in the Command Module orbiting the Moon, astronauts Thomas Stafford and Gene Cernan flew the Apollo Lunar Module (LM) to a descent orbit within 8.4 nautical miles (15.6 km) of the lunar surface, the point where powered descent for landing would begin.
After orbiting the Moon 31 times, Apollo 10 returned safely to Earth, and its success enabled the first actual landing (Apollo 11) two months later.
Apollo 10 set the record for the highest speed attained by a crewed vehicle: 39,897 km/h (11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph) on May 26, 1969, during the return from the Moon.
The mission's call signs were the names of the Peanuts characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy, who became Apollo 10's semi-official mascots.
