There are some great documentaries about spacesuits, the Lunar Rover, navigation computers, the Lunar Module and Saturn V on Youtube, each in five parts. They were aired on the Discovery Channel during Space Week. I’ve only watched the first two documentaries (not enough time for all of them today) and found them very interesting. Enjoy!

• Space Suits: one, two, three, four, five
• Lunar Rover: one, two, three, four, five
• Navigation Computer: one, two, three, four, five
• Lunar Module: one, two, three, four, five
• Saturn V: one, two, three, four, five

There’s a great Feynman thread at MetaFilter with links to lots of videos of him. I watched Richard Feynman – The Last Journey Of A Genius last night. The film is mainly about Feynman’s and Ralph Leighton’s obsession with Tuva and was filmed in 1988, just a few days before Feynman died. There are links to a lot of other films worth checking out in the thread, too.
