Not yet -- TDL item # 314159....

But I found this in a review by Tariq Malik
(Staff Writer, SPACE.com Fri Sep 23,10:00 AM ET):
"Collected in a neat volume, From the Earth to the Moon also include a
bonus disc of extras with resources designed to expand viewer knowledge
about, you guessed it, the Moon.

The text of Kennedy's speech calling for a targeted Moon landing space
program is included, as are timeline of the U.S. and Russia space race
accomplishments, series trailers and guides to both prominent
astronomers and the objects they study.

While a commentary or two would be nice - they are noticeably absent -
the box set does contain entertaining featurettes providing a 30-minute
behind-the-scenes look at the cast and crew, as well as a window into
the series' special effects."
