I saw episode 1 (Mercury) and parts of episode 2 (Gemini). It's pretty decent so far, and it looks spectacular on HD. I found the documentary invaluable for reminding me of the facts/trivia I learned about the space program growing up but have now forgotten. There was a time where I could recite the names of the Mercury 7. Before last night, I probably would have gotten 3 or 4 at best.
It also makes me long for days where the space program and the country's investment in science and technology were very high. Just think of where we could be in space, or how much better the world could be, if R&A in this nation could have the budget that the Iraq war has had. Even for only a year.
