Saw an ad for this in a waiting room magazine, then checked the website...should be good.

I just saw an ad for Discovery Channel's "When We Left Earth". Very cool. It was simply a montage of space-flight footage, with the oddly fitting Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter". Put a little lump in my throat, I'll say.

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I dont get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away


Godspeed, John Glenn... It's just a shot away...

I hope someone has the historical acumen to do something similar with the first generation of Russian space travellers. They aren't getting any younger either and it would be great to hear their stories, in most cases for the first time.
