Great documentary, very engaging!
Review by Chickadee review stating Great documentary, very engaging!
I saw this documentary on PBS TV a little while back and was immediately hooked on its content. I knew about various topics discussed from school, but this film put it all together from the start of exploring space to todays space science. This film really gets one interested in space, both history, technology, and lifes unanswered questions. A must see for inquisitive people of all ages.
