Sad news. Jerry Bostick, one of the greats of Apollo-era Mission Control has passed away. He was enormously helpful to our Mission Control film. A warm and generous soul and a great American. Love and blessings to his family and friends.

If you are in the UK, our new Apollo 1 documentary is now available on the Channel 4 website at channel4.com/progra.../apol…. "This gripping documentary tells the tragic story of the trio of American astronauts who might have gone down in history as the first humans to walk on the moon but, instead, lost their lives during an ill-fated launch rehearsal in 1967. How did the accident happen, and what effect did these events have on later generations of space explorers? " - Guardian

Our new film APOLLO 1 is on the UK's @Channel4 TOMORROW - 7th December at 9:30pm. "If you enjoyed BBC2’s Once upon a Time in Space (still on iPlayer), this one-off doc is along similar lines and equally good. It charts an earlier part of the history of space flight, focusing on the ill-starred Apollo 1 mission — a key stepping stone in Nasa’s race to put men on the Moon." - David Butcher, Radio Times

Jackie Cochran was a trail-blazing female aviator. Among many achievements, on May 18 1953 Cochran was the first woman to break the sound barrier in a Sabre jet. She would become a sponsor of the Mercury 13 group, to prove women could be fully capable astronauts. [📷 USAF, 1947]
