I want to buy the DVDs. I grew up with NASA. The original Mercury astronauts were like rock stars. I idolized each one of them. I can recall in grade school, listening to the liftoff during class on the radio. For some of the earlier missions, we got to listen to the entire mission as they were suborbital.
Years ago I finally got to see a Shuttle liftoff. I'm sure it had a much larger impact on me than it did on my young sons at the time. It was awesome. I have a friend that was at the Cape during an Apollo night launch. Based on what I have heard, a Shuttle liftoff pales by comparison to Apollo.
To boldly go.....
