This course has lots of launch movies, I enjoyed it very much. It`s like I was been there watching the live.
Cause I have no opportunity to get so close to the launch spot, it`s previous. Learning these classes is quiet relax.
The course is a gem, but it lacks the second part, like the disasters and so on. Special gratitude for chronicles in different languages.
Good course, would be perfect with a second part (space disasters, apollo 13 in detail, the 80's and the Shuttle program)!
