Featured review
Excellent overview of space exploration and rocketry.
This accomplished documentary aired on PBS stations back in 1985 and would certainly be worth a repeat viewing now, perhaps on Discovery or The Learning Channel. Martin Sheen's eloquent yet spare narration (written by filmmaker Blaine Baggett) perfectly complements the superb imagery. As a longtime sci-fi fan and space aficionado, I remember being riveted by this one. An excellent musical score. Worth a look!
