Space Race

Space Race, originally uploaded by John Barleycorn.

Welcome to nerd paradise. This fantastic BBC docudrama tell us the story about the great space race during the 50's and 60's. The main characters are the Soviet Chief Designer Sergei Korolev and his US opposite, the former German rocket scientist, Wernher von Braun. This docudrama looks both beautiful and impressive and really let you take a close look at the incredible efforts that were put into the race to the moon. Unfortunately Sergei Korolev died before he could see his dream realized. I really recommend this BBC production.
