For (the good of) All Mankind
We have ourselves a new president. We’ll see how that goes, but he can’t be worse than the last guy. And if nothing else at least the rest of the world doesn’t hate us as much now.
I watched For All Mankind the other day, which was a fantastic documentary about the first moon mission, complete with a great soundtrack by Brian Eno. I’d never seen the majority of the footage before and I have no idea why, a lot of it was… well, there’s no way to describe it without devolving into terms that are so cliche they borderline on meaningless. Words like “breathtaking” and “awe-inspiring” are the only things I can think to write, but I cringe a little putting it that way. Anyways, with a movie like this having existed since 1989 it’s hard for me to understand why America’s interest in space has seemed to wane so much in recent years.
Anyways you should see this movie.
I haven’t seen this but i will def check it out. If you haven’s you ought to check out this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120570/ it was a mini-series that aired in the late 90’s i thought was really good. actually recorded the entire series on VHS!
Yeah, my grandpa was actually a historian for that mini-series, since he worked in the control room through all the Apollo missions.
