PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"When We Left Earth" |
I guess this documentary/mini-series will belong over here since all the footage is from the NASA archives and therefore real. Did anyone watch the first part of this on Sunday? I've always been somewhat fascinated by the space program, especially the early days of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. I can probably thank my Dad for this, since he was a big space nut growing up and told me all about the missions when I was a kid. I wasn't born until 1979, so I didn't get to experience the thrill of the moon landing personally, but I still find the footage fascinating whenever I see it on tv and I'm anxious to see what other film Discovery was able to get from NASA's vaults. The first two parts, about the Mercury and Gemini missions were really interesting. I'll be the first to admit that I typically find documentaries such as this dry at times (I thought some of Planet Earth was great last summer, other parts put me to sleep.) I was riveted by this though, thanks in part to Gary Sinise's narration and so much that I hadn't really learned about before like Ed White's first space walk in one of the early Gemini missions and how Gemini 6 & Gemini 7 completed three orbits of Earth just six inches apart. Anyone else watching? What do you think? Place witty comment here.

I'm also really enjoying this show. I think they did a really good job pulling it together. During the first episode I found myself comparing it to what I remember from the movie "The Right Stuff" which I also enjoyed. We're so blasé about it now that it's easy to forget how incredibly brave these guys were.
