I'm not even American and I feel a bit patriotic about that shot of the American flag rising up through the condensation and falling ice.

- ericd 13y agoYeah, it really is an incredible bit of footage. If you can watch the series, though, it makes it so much better, because it really expresses the breakneck pace that these guys were working on. They would go from major milestone to major milestone within weeks or months of each other. I got the sense that they knew very little in the beginning, and basically had ballistic missiles, and they had to become very proficient very quickly to meet their goals. If you can't see it on Netflix, it looks like it's very cheap on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/When-We-Left-Earth-Missions/dp/B001BEK8CY/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1381972026&sr=1-1&keywords=when+we+left+earth http://www.amazon.com/When-We-Left-Earth-Missions/dp/B001BEK...
