[i]A series of IMAX space films that launched the grandeur of human spaceflight onto expansive screens around the world is headed for televisions across the United States, even as astronauts prepare to make a new film at the Hubble Space Telescope next month. On Sunday, April 12, the Documentary Channel will broadcast the first of its catalogue of 21 IMAX films to celebrate the birth of human spaceflight and NASA's space shuttle fleet. The three-film marathon kicks off with the 1982 film "Hail Columbia!" in high-definition and will air on the simultaneous anniversaries of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's historic first spaceflight in 1961 and NASA's inaugural launch of the space shuttle Columbia in 1981. "It is only fitting that we premiere these three magnificent IMAX films, including "Hail Columbia", on this same date to celebrate one of America's greatest achievements and to recognize the heroes and triumphs of NASA," Documentary Channel founder and CEO Tom Neff told SPACE.com.[/i]
