This post just reminded me of James Michener's excellent book "Space". While Michener is not normally known as a SF author, his fictional history of space exploration is very good and interesting reading.
As always, his book is well researched and introduces subjects often forgotten, such as the fact that the Apollo and Soyuz programs were direct descendants of the Nazi V-2 program. He added Apollo 18 to the program to show what would have happened in the event of catastrophic failure on the lunar surface.

I enjoyed Space.
The made for TV mini series that aired in 1985 was well done too.

Yes. The box set (VHS) was given to me as a gift on Christmas. An amazing production.

I don't think I've seen that one.
One show I can watch over and again is "For all mankind". It has no narrative, except the voices of the astronauts. Music was written for the show by Brian Eno. Deep Blue Day is one of my favorites, but was unfortunately stolen for the "swimming in the toilet" scene in Trainspotting.

Haven't read the story but having seen the movie trailer, "Cloud Atlas" is on my must read and view list.

Despite a one week shouting hiatus - FOX TV says the September 28 Season 5 premier of "FRINGE" is still on schedule.
Anyone watching this series? I'm a big fan of parallel universe tales and this one works well on TV.

I love this programme, I think it's really kept up with the times in terms of production values, I'm also really looking forward to the new series (BTW, I can't remember the Doctors by number so it could be anyone?!).
