Yes Andy, I too have fond memories of educational programs from the Gemini space program days. I believe the opening theme to "What's New?" was: Up, down, and all around. In, Out, and round about. Here, there and everywhere. What's New!? Moving towards the end of the Gemini program and into the Apollo era, does anyone remember Walter Cronkite's series "The 21st Century"? During the early 60s, Uncle Walter had a weekly history program called "The 20th Century". When they ran out of things to say about the present century, CBS came up with "The 21st Century". Every week Uncle Walter told us all about the wonderful things that were going to take place if were could hang on until the year 2000. Would you believe computers in people's houses? Or even computers that could talk!? It would be great to see some of those shows now to see how dated the predictions look already. Doug Davey Bell Labs Piscataway, NJ u1100s!dad
