Too sad.
Just want to say that the mentioned book "The Right Stuff" exists also as a 3 hours movie from 1983. You'll find it on youtube, too (two parts).
I really recommend this movie to everyone who's into spaceflight. Full with details and beauty, a true homage.
- csixty4 13y agoOMG it just sank in that there are people who might be too young to know that movie exists. Yes! See it as soon as you can. It's a beautiful dramatization of the early days of space exploration, with Bill Conti's perfect soundtrack.
- officemonkey 13y agoFun Fact for Hipster Youth: Zooey Deschanel's parents are both involved in the film. Her father Caleb Deschanel was cinematographer and her mother Mary Jo played Annie Glenn (her role is remarkable because she portrays Annie Glenn with a severe stutter.)
- leoc 13y agoThe 1994 PBS documentary /Moon Shot/ is not bad either.
- lmm 13y agoIf you like this kind of thing I highly recommend Moondust: In Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth.
- Tloewald 13y agoThe discovery documentary "when We left Earth" is excellent and features a lot of interviews of the original astronauts.
- matthewmcg 13y agoBoth the book and the movie are fantastic on their own, but I also think the movie is the best film adaptation of a book (in terms of effectiveness and fidelity).
