gagarin
today is the anniversary of yuri gagarin's first orbit of the earth. no space for cameras in those days but a recreation exists here. all looks very interesting...
Fantastic film! I'll be back to watch it all when I've the time.
Reminds me I once saw a great IMAX film of the ISS. I seem to remember US astronauts in it saying how comfortable the Shuttle was - but how much safer you felt in a Soyuz - even if you did have your knees under your chin.
