I have read so many tech books and so many biographies and seen so many movies and been to nasa and eaten up all the documentaries, watch launches
but this one movie changed how I thought about the role of the astronauts. I already knew they were all highly experienced test pilots and university educated but really, the pivotal role they played was never shown before, like I said, previously it was as if they were a passenger, not a pilot. :)
Yes, amazing. :)
