Gattaca

I recently received "Gattaca" as a birthday gift, and watched it for the first time in years. A well-done movie, with a number of points of interest related to the opening of the new frontier:
*a conformist society that restricts personal opportunity;
*regular launches as the backbone of a robust program in space;
*the best & the brightest as candidates for leaving Earth;
*individuals with sufficient motivation willing to go to great lengths to be one of those candidates;
*and the wonderful image of the astronauts suited-up for launch... space doesn't need to be spacey.

A good movie to be viewed along with "The Right Stuff" and "October Sky", all of which show the essential nature of drive in human endevors.
