Title: Storys of our Space Program
Post by: davekill on November 03, 2012, 12:07:02 PM
Any space program history buffs here?

The next giant step for mankind is explored in a series documenting known and unknown pioneers and programs available on YouTube.

NASAFLIX is home to feature films about Space Exploration and Maned Space Flight beginning with the early days of the Mercury program, the Gemeni program, the Apollo program and ultimately, the Space Shuttle era.

Great stuff!, as good as anything on the Hisory Channel and more varied content.

Rise and Fall of the Russian Space Program is a good example with a healthy portion of 'food for thought'

The Episode on the first Soviet Cosmonaut 'SECRET SPACE: Cosmonaut Cover-up' is pretty sad. The USSR had such a promising space program and brilliant engineers at one time.

So far I like  'SPACE COWBOY: Bob Truax Story' the best.

we've been studying the history of space travel in science recently, that film will definitely be a great study guide! it's just the best feeling going to class and watching a brian cox film that you've already seen before. XD

Professor Brian Cox from the univeristy of Manchester?
He's great, kind of like Buckaroo Banzai - a rock-star physicist :)
