Show Description

Dawn of the Space Age covers space exploration from Sputnik to the Space Shuttle and into the beginning of the ISS and commercial companies.

There are several sequences referencing events in the Soviet space program and the Space Race.

This program covers a lot of history but could not include everything. Good for adults but also enjoyable for young people who weren't born when the last shuttle flew in 2011.
