Überdreht und ärgerlich

Es ist wirklich schade, dass gerade ein Podcast zu einem so faszinierenden und inhaltlich tiefen Thema wie einer Apollo-Mission so unnötige Schwächen aufweist.

Die vielen Quellen, die das Autorenteam zusammengetragen hat, tragen interessante Blickwinkel zur Story bei. Aber die unnötige Dramatisierung, typisch US-amerikanische sinnlose Vergleiche ("roughly 30 747 jumbo jets", "more power than 85 Hoover dams"), der anmaßende Vorspann und die ständigen Werbeunterbrechungen verleiden das Zuhören schnell.

Zudem dürfte jeder, der sich anhand der öffentlichen Quellen ein wenig in die Materie eingelesen hat, schon mit vielen Details aus Technik und Missionsverlauf auskennen. Ständig so zu tun, als wäre alles eine unglaubliche Glanzleistung des Investigativjournalismus, nervt. Vielleicht ist es auch eine Frage der Hörkultur, aber "13 minutes to the moon" finde ich deutlich empfehlenswerter.
