Far From Routine: Three Lives and the Space Shuttle (1972–2005) | Documentary

Forty years, 135 launches, and three lives bound to one machine. Far From Routine follows John Young, Sally Ride and Eileen Collins through the Space Shuttle era: the bargain that built it, the promise of routine access to space, the losses of Challenger and Columbia, and the long return to flight. Told almost entirely through NASA and National Archives film, photographs and documents.
