The Apollo 12 episode ("That's All There Is") is probably my favorite of From the Earth to the Moon). It's such a strong counterpoint to "Tranquillity Base". Apollo 11 was Serious Business Undertaken by Serious Men,* two of whom were among the most enigmatic and unknowable astronauts in NASA. Apollo 12 was Pete, Al, and Dick Go to the Moon. :)

* with the arguable exception of Mike Collins, whose memoir, Carrying the Fire, is one of the wittiest and most relatable astronaut books
