IMAX Space Station DVD

I just rented and watched the IMAX Space Station DVD. It's cool. Lots of nice images of the hardware being assembled along with the typical images of astronauts floating around in zero-G. There was a really cool scene of a Proton rocket taking off. The DVD glossed over the science return from ISS (scientific activities were mentioned but no real detail was provided for obvious reaons). The enormous cost of the thing in terms of cash and human careers was not mentioned. Needless to say, the word "Columbia" was not mentioned once.

The hardware shown was very impressive. As a Space Fanatic, I found the DVD bittersweet. I saw alot of squandered promise amongst the glittering hardware. I'll buy the DVD when used rental copies are available at Blockbuster.
