The further we get away from the space race the morenbelievable/stunning it seems. What with that flaky old sixties technology.

I really wish I'd kept my Brooke Bond PG Tips The Race To Space cards album (the only one I completely filled) : (

What a great version - like that tune, but I've only got an Anita O'Day of it.

Know what you mean about the idealism of that space race heyday, the idea that we'd all be dwarfed and humbled by all that immensity, and given such a revelation of our common humanity on this lonely fragile planet that we could do no other than live as one in peace.

Yeah, good luck with that!
