Clarke, Andrew Chaikin, Robert Godwin, Spider Robinson and Robert J. Sawyer, historians Paul Fjeld and Professor John Lienhart, Dr Raymond Puffer and Dr James Young, Manhattan Project physicist Hans Bethe, head of the Lovelace Clinic Dr. Donald E. Kilgore, Dr David Simons of Holloman AFB, Colonel Joe Kittinger, and broadcaster Walter Cronkite, among others. While focusing mainly on the American side of the race, the series also covered major Soviet achievements through every key phase of the 1950s and 1960s Space Race. The series was produced, written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Michael Lennick for The Discovery Channel (Canada), and narrated by actor Graham Greene. Music was composed by Eric Robertson. Lennick filmed a pilot episode named "The Highest Step" about the high-altitude balloon flights of Project Manhigh and the rocket sled tests of Colonel John Paul Stapp. In 2003 director Michael Lennick's production company, Foolish Earthling, released the pilot episode on DVD. The rest of the series was released in 2004 in DVD-video format as a three-disc box set with total running time of 540 minutes. This box set did not include the pilot episode. In 2006 Foolish Earthling, released a very limited edition DVD set of the "Director's Cut" in 16:9 format. Due to contractual restrictions the series was never aired in the United States. (en)
