October 16, 20232 yr See, some peckerwood's gotta get the thing up. And some peckerwood's gotta land the son of a bitch. And that "peckerwood" is called a "pilot".
October 17, 20232 yr It vill go up like a cannonball, and come down like, uh, a cannonball, Our Germans are better than their Germans. I'd like a coca cola. In a clean glass.

I have no idea how accuracy of those scenes, but it was crazy that the future American heroes were waddling down hospitals corridors about to crap themselves only wearing a hospital gown.
October 17, 20232 yr Couldn't find this streaming anywhere, but you can buy it in HD for $8 on YouTube. So I did.
October 17, 20232 yr Gus? An astronaut named "Gus"? What's your middle name? Ivan. Ivan... ahem... well. Maybe, Gus isn't so bad, might be something there... All right, all right. You can be Gus.

October 17, 20232 yr Don't screw the pooch. I use this at work all the time, and no one knows wtf I'm talking about. They're mostly Indians so I get it.

October 18, 20232 yr Loved that they cast the real Gen. Chuck Yeager as the old man sweeping out Pancho's....
October 18, 20232 yr How was the mini-series from 2020? I never saw it but the source material could make a great series.
October 18, 20232 yr Popular Post How was the mini-series from 2020? I never saw it but the source material could make a great series.It was all woke. Grissom was trans. LBJ and Von Braun black. Scott carpenter was a woman named Mildred.We didn’t go to the moon to beat the Russians but to promote gender positivity, a vegan lifestyle, and a carbon neutral ecology. The Saturn V was electric. On the moon we left no footprints or refuse, and zero plastics were used in the space program. I didn’t much like it.
October 18, 20232 yr Levon Helm deserves a mention for his narration and as the guy that helps the pilots with preflight stuff.

It covered a much narrower scope -- the Mercury program from start to first launch -- in more detail. It focused more on the astronauts' relationships/competitions with each other and less on the media side of things. More drama, less comedy.
October 18, 20232 yr i did not remember that Jeff Goldblum was in this movie so many good young actors got their first breakout role here... him, Quaid, Ed Harris...

You can pick it up on Amazon Prime and AppleTV for streaming, for like $20, or Vudu $15 in "HDX" but not sure if it's in 4K. In 4K it was awesome, especially the last episode (Shepard's launch was beautiful in 4K). It really fleshed out Shepard and the others, but it ended with Shepard's flight, and never got into the Yeager stuff (which was being saved for the future). Really would have liked to have seen seasons 2-3, as it seemed like they were headed for the rest of them launching, and then getting into Gemini. "Expansive" would be a good word to describe it as it really dug into the home life, the wives/kids, and the background characters. The cast was solid, especially Cooper, Shepard, and Glenn.

October 19, 20232 yr You're all set. I told her you were stable, well-adjusted, attentive, persevering... I lied.
