Part one of this series is the most unique. But I've got other stuff in the queue.

I've been something of a space enthusiast since I was a kid in the '50s, so I've seen all of the standard clips as well, but as with everyone else, a lot of this was new to me.

Mike Hughes

Mark Sundstrom

Thanks! I had not seen that before and a lot of the footage, especially the early stuff, was new to me.

I had the entire series on VHS cassettes, now long lost. I'd forgotten how good it was. Thank you, Fran.

This was a fun Sunday morning watch. My father took me to visit Cape Kennedy from Michigan in 1969 to see Apollo 11 before the launch. I was devastated when I was told that my imperfect eyesight would prohibit me from from being selected for flight school. I had been studying space travel and rocketry from the moment I was allowed to choose my own reading material at the library. Goddard was my hero. Reading about his team and their work in New Mexico was inspiring. Thanks, Fran.
