Thanks, BM 65. Is there anything you have not seen
I missed that one.
One of my all time favourite films is "From the Earth to the Moon."
In one of my favourite episodes, Dave Foley plays the role of Alan Bean, (Apollo 12 and several shuttle flights. One of the "best of the best")
Astronauts are generally depicted as "steely eyed missle men", as fearless, cold and dedicated as they are bold. (Darren Stevens aside
)
Dave played the role depicting an uninhibited, wide eyed joy in being an astronaut and actually going to the moon with his crew and good buddies.
I would like to think that, beneath the required professionalism and emotional reserve, that was how many of the astronauts felt.
If not, how sad.
I think he portrayed a real, human and important element of being a great adventurer in the space program.
