Great movies indeed, I watch them over and over. I can also highly recommend In the Shadow of the Moon

R.I.P. for all the great men and women who devoted their lives for mankind's space exploration.

You sort of have to put that out of your mind. There's always a possibility that you can have a catastrophic failure, of course; this can happen on any flight; it can happen on the last one as well as the first one. So, you just plan as best you can to take care of all these eventualities, and you get a well-trained crew and you go fly.

As you said - Real men - Real heroes to me!

Thanks all for posting these pics!!

Agreed. It's a keeper in my collection as well, not only for the history, but because it is stylish, classic and a true horological icon.
