| User ReviewMark SSaw this when I was younger when I was a total space cadet. Offers an insight into the life of an astronaut as well as the sheer complecency at which the shuttles were launched (the astronauts had simple blue tracksuit like overalls with a helmet that looked like one worn on a motorcycle when they went into orbit). Allen is very hammy as McCaulife the teacher. Is warrenting a more serious look at the disaster in an upcoming film which was to be reviewed at the Cannes Festival. Wait for this telling of the disaster. |
