(I believe it was first discussed here about 6 months ago.) It opened today at Great America amusement park in Santa Clara, CA. Since it was sponsored/produced by the Smithsonian, I assume it has or shortly will appear there as well. The movie has some truly great sequences, although it spends a bit too much time on shuttle launches (that is, if you've already seen Hail, Columbia). Some of the sequences include the 'rescue' of the Solar Max satellite, although not of the actual 'rescue'. Hope this isn't a redundant posting, we've had problems with one of our main news feeds lately. Dave Olson, Fortune Systems UUCP: {ihnp4,ucbvax!dual}!fortune!olson ARPA: dual!fortune!olson@BERKELEY
