major_clangerTonight 9-10 pm on BBC2, the first part of Space Race, a drama-documentary about the US-Soviet race to the Moon. Previews sound promising.
On the topic of space, a few pointers to various web sites I often look at to keep an eye on what's going up (or coming down):
Space Daily: News and op-ed about space missions and space policy. Some of the guest opinion items can be a bit flaky and there are rather a lot of blatantly regurgitated press releases, but always worth a look. Links from the main page to various spin-off sites with more specialist coverage.
Spaceflight Now: Similar to Space Daily, but with more self-generated content and extensive real-time coverage of high-profile events. Has the option to subscribe for additional content.
Space.Com: Rather goshwow for my taste but very pretty.
The Space Review: Essays and commentary, often of a high standard. Lots of thought-provoking material and often first to discuss major policy issues.
Encyclopedia Astronautica: The uber-geek's reference for space. If I'd been shown this site at age 10 I would have spent a fortnight solid reading every single word. Want to know about design studies for stretching the Saturn V? It's all here.
