Default NOVA: First Man on the Moon

I just saw a terrific program on the life of the late Neil Armstrong. He was a very special person. I also note that NOVA is sponsored in part by the David H. Koch Fund for Science.
(FYI, he's one of the hated Koch Brothers.)

We caught the last half and it was pretty good. It will be on again but not sure when. Check your late night listings, might be able to tape it.

Guys, if you have a streaming devise for your TV like a Roku unit, there is a PBS channel "FREE" that shows episodes of the last "Nature, Nova, This Old House etc, etc of all the shows that were on last week.

The episodes are usually posted two or three days after they air.

So the Neil Armstrong episode will be on tomorrow or Saturday and will be there for maybe 2 weeks.

Yes, even "Downton Abby" when its aired. But, these shows don't stay there...OK, some of them do but not all of them.

It's FREE, just add the channel and watch it when ever you want.

Just liker Netflix.

Did I mention it's FREE?

Here's a link to the PBS/NOVA website program on Neil Armstrong so you can stream the episode:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/space/...an-on-moon.html

This is probably the most insightful documentary on Armstrong's character and personality ever released.

I'm not sure. Ask GH.



I hope this answers your inquiry.

I would answer why the Koch brothers are HATED but we are not allowed to discuss politics here.
Suffice it to say that they are both POS dirtbags that use the "citizens united" decision by SCOTUS to BUY elections.

Really, GH? Have you looked into who actually gives the most money to "buy elections"? Also
take a look a the non-political contributions he makes. He gives a heck of a lot more money to
the Arts, Education, and Health fields than he does to politics. You never see this type of
scrutiny applied to donors on the other side of the aisle.

Just to restore some semblance of sanity to the conversation.

As to the original purpose of this thread... that sounds like a fascinating program and I'll
have to look for it.
