Interesting
I agree that in some ways TV and movie sci-fi hurts real space exploration. The kids take it for granted that space "will happen" without becomming motivated to make the prosaic reality happen.
As to "Rocket Boys" the novel was even better once you got past the writer's slow 1st 50 pages. Worth reading. Unforunately, his subsequent fiction book was literally unreadable IMNSHO.
