The title of this show is perfectly apt: we enter the astronauts' world, from Colonel Chilton's account of what an astronaut does during a two-week stint in the Space Shuttle, to Dr. Jones's view of the importance of Apollo ("it was a way ... to demonstrate as a society that we could do something we set our minds to in direct challenge to the superpower of the Soviet Union"), to the potentialities of Dr. Chang-Diaz's specialty, "magnetically confined high-temperature plasmas." Dr. Chang-Diaz--confirming the statement of an earlier Firing Line guest, astronaut Edgar Mitchell (#S279)--also tells us how our space program looks from his native Costa Rica: "I know a lot of other young people all over Latin America that look at NASA as the epitome, the highest thing that humans can do. And I don't know if this is something that is quite tangible in terms of dollars, but it is one of the most beautiful things that goes on in the developing world."
