Chris, thank you so very much for that in-depth (and favorable, but I'm actually more pleased with the in-depth than the favorable) review of D'Argo's Lament. I'll be curious to see what you think of the rest of the trilogy.

Thank you so much for the article, "In Honor of the Fallen" by Michael Falkner.

I can only hope that we (meaning Americans and humans generally) will not give up the dream and the possibilities that come from manned spaceflight.

All those folks whose livelihoods depend on the space program... and all those young people whose futures can be improved by what can be... "You can be more."

[BlueCatShip]

...Also, it's great to be reminded that people like KRAD check out the ScapeCast and The Signal. It's great that the creative people who bring us cool books, comics, audio, and video are...well...fans like the rest of us. Awesome.

You are welcome.  I agree with your sentiments completely.

Thank you Scapecast Crüe (err Crew), for making a new episode!

Great article about the space programs of the US and the USSR.

Nice review of the D'Argo comic, Mike!.

[Crackers DO Matter]

Once again, another FRELLING GREAT SCAPECAST EPISODE !!!!

- Michael's "In Honor of the Fallen" would be one of my all time favorites. I can remember all 3 of the USA's trageties like it was yesterday  ( even though I was young when Apollo 1 happened ). I agree 100% with Bluecat ... let's hope that we don't give up on the dream of spaceflight.

- Thanks for the review of D'Argo's Lament, all of the comics feel like an episode of Farscape, so I really like that fact that you are reviewing them too.

ohhhh, and as for Tralk Talk ... THANK YOU !!!!

[Kingmole]

Big thanks for Michael's "In Honor of the Fallen", thoroughly enjoyable and informative. Its always good to have a re-fresh on that sphere of history and from a slightly different perspective. And yes, I am one of those young ones who were born after the first moon walk

Another awesome episode. Especially the short history of space exploration segment.

It's been a while since I've been here and I need to do a lot of catching up. This was a great episode to start with. I really enjoyed all the articles, especially the review of the D'Argo comics.

I loved the article on the space programs.  Excellent writing, moving story and utterly engaging.

I’m curious about the music that played before the article- it was beautiful and fitting but I’m not sure where it’s from.  Could you give me the music information?  I’d love to get a hold of my own copy.

Thanks guys- great work!

Thanks, Miriad, and welcome to the forums!

The music for the article was from "From The Earth to the Moon", a mini-series that ran on HBO a while back that dramatized the Apollo space program in the 1960s.  I highly recommend it if you're a space nut like me. 

Thanks for listening.

[Brent Barrett]

I actually put two pieces of music on that article, Mike.  First was From the Earth to the Moon, as you indicated.  The out track was Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man. 

[Michael Falkner]

Oh, that's right.  I forgot about the closing. 

[Miriad]

Thank you so much- I really appreciate the info!

I did want to check out From the Earth to the Moon but just never had the chance.  Your piece has inspired me so to Netflix I go!

Thanks again!
