Quick reaction:Episode 1 of The Space Race was impressive, a detailed and encompassing documentary drama dealing with the beginnings of the USA/USSR space race from the close of WWII to the early development of the two competing programmes, especially the American distrust of “their Germans.” The show looks good, with impressive digital renderings of Nordhausen, Fort Bliss, V2 launches, etc. The actors resemble the historical figures well, though Von Braun’s May 1945 broken arm was inexplicably missed out? The physical replicas – big and small - were good too, though there were some obvious if minor prop errors – American GIs seemed to be armed with a strange mixture of Soviet era and WWI German weapons. Overall, the show provides an authentic looking background to the human, political and technological drama. Much to look forward to.

It was remarkably good - much better than the Blakes Seven-style Space Odyssey. Certainly no holding back on von Braun's awareness of slave labour and interesting insight into the Glushko/Korolyev relationship.
For US readers, this was a co-production with National Geographic so i expect it will be out on cable in due course.Paul |
