I read the book about 6 months ago and only just found it has been made into a co-producted docu/mive/series thing by the bbc and russia's channel1.
Great story = the race between america and russia to space and then the moon.
so yeah watched the first episode last night on abc and quite liked it - nice effects and cinematography and all - so yeah if ur a little bit nerdy like me and like some adventure and a good history lesson - i recomend it =)
yeah, caught it last night on abc. im not a huge fan of these "movie documentaries" but was pretty cool nonetheless. will def tune in next week.

I was just walking past the TV, ended up watching the whole thing intently. Really like these sort of documentaries, since my patience for learning history has always been thin.
