Man Conquers Space

dirtyhank writes "Half a century ago space exploration was the ultimate adventure and a team headed by Wernher von Braun dreamed about it for Colliers Magazine. Their vision of the future to come was too optimistic though and we haven't made to Mars yet. Now the dreamers are some people in Australia trying to produce Man Conquers Space, a documentary based on the premise that all that had been proposed in the early 1950's in Colliers actually came to pass - and sooner than they expected."

Documentary?

Oh, yes. One of my favorite documentaries is by Steven Spielberg and is based on the premise that an alien was stranded on earth and befriended a human boy to help him get back home. Man, that documentary footage of those flying bikes is still vivid in my head.

I realize it's harmless, but ManConquersSpaceEnter.html is abbreviated MCSEnter, and the MCSE doesn't get past the firewall here.

That was fascinating. I especially liked this part:

55:55:17 (9:07 PM CT) - Important Rocket Part: *poot*

55:55:18 (9:07 PM CT) - Astronaut: "Ohhhfuckohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck..."

55:55:20 (9:07 PM CT) - Swigert: "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here."
