Today brings a trio of movies right up Sputnik Child's alley,
First, at 2 pm EDT, is "Failure is not an Option", based on the memoir by former NASA flight director Gene Kranz. Next, at 6 pm, "Apollo 13", the Ron Howard-Tom Hanks effort that received 9 Academy Award nominations. ("Houston, we have a problem.") Finally, "Not an Option 2: Beyond the Moon", also based on Gene Kranz' memoirs, dealing with NASA's efforts from the 1973 launch of SkyLab through the Discovery tragedy.
Stay tuned. Sputnik Child will be glued to her set.
