    Tom, 

    I think you may find this program interesting . . . I learned a lot (I've owned it for years, but was inspired by you to dig it out and watch!). My copy was released under the Smithsonan A&S dvd series banner, but it is a 2003 NOVA episode --->

    Today marks the 65th anniversary of me catching the "Space" bug.  I was 10 years old and I went out to fetch the morning paper.  The headline read: "First Man in Space."  Having grown up watching "Rocky Jones and the Space Rangers" I thought that people were in space all the time.  I had to learn more.  Long story short, a little over three weeks later I was watching Alan Shepard become the second man in space, and I've been following each flight ever since.
