[Testing a new space suit]
Capt. Ezekiel "Zeke" Beaumont, ASCAN: I thought you said these new suits were lighter.
Col. Jack Riles: They are. This one only weighs 200 pounds.

Commentaire à la une
I was very surprised to see some of the negative comments expressed here. I have seen most of "The Cape" series, and I found it very entertaining.
I can easily believe that it is not entirely realistic (the confusion between KSC and JSC is so obvious I find it possible to ignore it) - but to me this series does at least give some sense of a dramatisation of the shuttle-era astronaut experience. Most of us mere mortals (and especially in the space-deprived UK) never get much closer than this. Even if you visit JSC (and I have, at least 3 times) it is fronted by the PR set-up "Space Center Houston", which, although an enjoyable experience, gives you a highly stylised view of the space programme, and leaves you with only the sketchiest idea of what manned spaceflight is all about. "The Cape" in my view does better, even if not greatly authentic. NASA seem to struggle with popularity and capturing the imagination of the ordinary person (non-space-cadet), despite needing their support. In my view, they were therefore unwise not to back this series. What does "access to space" mean for the average person? In a dramatic (and therefore fictional) sense, "The Cape" provides this.
And if you think Corbin Bernsen doesn't belong in space (perhaps his 'mature fighter jock' character play is not in keeping with the Shuttle era), then he is at least an engaging personality, and to my mind very watchable.
The age of the Shuttle cannot go on for ever, - and what better drama do we have to remember it by?
To whom it may concern - may we please have "the Cape" series on DVD - Region 2?
