0014381486353. New condition. Blu-Ray. Run time: 60 mins. Language: English. Commissioned by and aired on The Discovery Channel to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of NASA, the six-part documentary miniseries When We Left Earth weaves into one epic narrative the tale of America's quest to chart the heavens. From John Glenn's experiences as the first American to orbit the earth in outer space (and the third in space per se) to the innovative, groundbreaking extraterrestrial repairs of the Hubble telescope (c. December '93), this program touches on all of the major highlights in the United States space program. Throughout, the series makes fervent use of extensive footage shot of the astronauts in mid-mission. Nathan Southern, Rovi
