Customer Reviews
Fun to hear about.
I had the privilege of being an extra in a few episodes for this show and hearing them talk about it made me laugh and think about my time on set. I’m glad this little series exists to bring those memories back. Also, let’s you picture more clearly about how the astronauts lived compared to what the show tells you.
Excellent
Fun and funny! Well done!
