American History
Wired has a story on the new documentary In the Shadow of the Moon, a documentary about the Apollo manned missions to the moon, which is becoming a big hit at Sundance.
It never ceases to amaze me how little people know about the U.S. space program. At my school we're getting set up to speak directly to the International Space Station, so for the next few weeks I'm going to visit different classrooms and talk a little about the space program and some of its notable achievements.
It's one of those things that Shouldn't Be Forgotten, like D-Day or the Declaration of Independence. One of the things that makes you proud of your country.
Speaking of D-Day, I heard the other day that Ken Burns is doing a documentary on World War II titled, simply, The War. It's not coming out until September 2007 but I'm already getting excited. Because I'm a white liberal guy who likes PBS documentaries about American history.
