For All Mankind- for the moon freaks...

Space fans probably know this one well, but the last episode of Top Gear just reminded me of it; so for anyone who hasn't seen it:

For All Mankind is a great documentary on the moon landing. Great stuff.

Thank you. I downloaded this onto the iPlayer desktop, but it seems to take so much power to run that my puny 256MB of RAM can only show me a sequence of stills with a soundtrack, rather than a film. Luckily YouTube is just about doable.

Cheers.

Irony check - the moon landing was achieved with the power of a pocket calculator. 40 year on, you can't even watch it with something 1,000,000x the power.

Sad really. All part of H. sapiens losing the plot.

I believe they were not without sympathy to my vexations.
