I’m watching it right now. I’m hoping that when the next stage of the manned space program lifts off, someone will be moved enough to write another song about it.

I don't know why I procrastinate so badly on these things...just put the Blu-ray on our Amazon wish list, should have it by the end of the month.

Some cardboard modelling fun from last December...

Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph

I watched it on Thursday night. I loved it. It may not be for everyone as it is a timeline documentary starting well before the launch right through the crews quarantine after splash down. It has some amazing footage though. Just the few seconds that they show the Saturn V on the launch pad at night all lit up with the huge floodlights was well worth the price for the Bluray. I give it an A+ for what it is. yep

My blu-ray arrived yesterday, watched last night. I couldn't possibly write as articulate a review as Patrocles' but yeah, it was well done. Other than the impressively sharp visuals, I especially enjoyed the little touches like the astronaut's family pictures (baby, adolescent, marriage, air force, children). Also the price of coffee at NASA: first cup one nickle, second cup, third cup...tenth cup and so on, one nickle. Free cup, one nickle. Take out, ask for estimate. Lol.

Enjoyed this one.
