When We Left Earth

Ok, Space Fans... a new series is about to debut on the Discovery Channel. It's called, "When We Left Earth, The NASA Missions."

I'm sure you all know from previous blogs that I'm a huge NASA enthusiast, particularly the stories during our quest for the moon.

I've seen just about everything related to our space history.

So, when something like this comes out, my interest is definitely drawn to learn what I may have missed.

Why the interest? Well, it goes back to the science combined with the humanity. To set a goal (mission) without the invented technology to achieve something and to actually accomplish it totally captivates me.

Movies such as The Right Stuff and Apollo 13 were early influences in this passion. It grew tremendously when I watched the HBO series From the Earth to the Moon.

Now we have this new series debuting Sunday, June 8. If you're like me, you'll want to watch it. Make sure you set your DVR - it'll run for 6 weeks.

Here is the link.
