Love ol' Gordo... Now there's a man whose cool just can NOT be shaken. He's sitting on top of tons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen - that makes the skin of the rocket pop and groan from the temperature differential - and the man decides to SLEEP up there while waiting for them to make up their minds whether he can launch or not!!!
You just know a TV announcer somewhere is saying, "What must be going through the mind of this brave man as he sits on top of this potential bomb!"
What indeed. XD

"Oh lord, what a heavenly light."
One of the best dramas of the '80s, and Bill Conti's score is just fantastic.
