sid12-1 This is one of my all time favorite TV mini series and if anyone has taped it or it is available for purchase I would love to have it! I talk about it all the time to my children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. They would love to give it to me for my 90th birthday and I cannot think of anything I would like more! If there is someone connected to the mini series or anyone else that I could contact please, please let me know! I am constantly looking on the internet for this show and can never find it I was fortunate enough to find this web site today and am trying to take advantage of it the best way I know how. So once again, if there is any way that I can get a copy of Space the miniseries produced in 1985 by CBS and based on James Michner novel I would give anything to have it. Thank you for your assistance and any guidance that anyone can give me. If I cannot do it my daughter has promised to do it

LouMaag This adaptation of James Michener's novel was especially well done and was made in the heyday of mini-series production. I was lucky enough to have recorded the original showing of the program and watched it just recently.This program depicts the race for space from the closing days of World War II through a fictional end of the Apollo program. It follows the lives of five fictional main characters, which interweave from 1944 through the late 1970's. During these years we see a fictional, but accurate, portrayal of how the space program in the US developed from early failures to successful moon landings.The cast of characters is lengthy and all of the main characters turned in very good performances. The technical and special effects were very good for the period. If you get a chance to watch a copy of this, please be prepared for a long viewing time, as even with the commercials edited out, it will last over 10 hours.

kabel74 From Penemundee to the tragic 'Apollo 18', it was quite an inspiration to saw this miniseries as a kid 15 years ago. The 80s saw the production of some of the best TV miniseries around and this is certainly one of them. As usual, the novel was even better though I only got to read it years later. It potrayed the human spirit version of the space program in their golden era. Great work by Harry Hamlin and Michael York as John Pope and Dieter Kolf respectively. If you're looking for some heart warming, feel good time, this's one worth the watch.

yenlo Based on the James Michener novel of the same name this mini series which originally aired on CBS tells the tale of Americas space program through fictional characters. Beginning with German Rocket scientists who choose to go to the Americans side after the war up to the manned lunar landings. The politics, money making business, careers and romances of those who made up the space program are covered. The original broadcast was the best version. It has been rebroadcast a few times since but has always been edited in some form or another. A little heavy at times on the soap opera romance bit but still a good mini series. Don't miss reading the novel by Michener.
