From The Earth To The Moon: Galileo Was Right (Every Step Of The Way)

[hibob418]

The great character actor David Clennon as the professor. Simply wonderful in every part he plays. Even his role as the Press Liason officer in "The Right Stuff."

Time for a series about the real pioneers of space flight - the Soviets. They did everything first, bar land a man on the moon first. But they were the first to land something on the moon. First satellite, first man/woman in space, first spacewalk.

@Nautilus1972 but they didnt land the first man on the moon and really that all this was all about. all the rest are inconsequential details in comparison.

Actually, Dave Scott wasn't quite as "reluctant" a student as the episode makes him out to be. From what I've read, Dave was quite enthusiastic about science early on. If you read "A Man on the Moon" by Andrew Chaykin, upon with the series is partly based, you see it was actually Jim Lovell, training for Apollo 13, that started out as a skeptic but was won over on field trips with Silver. For the series, they adapted it to Scott and the Apollo 15 crew.
