It should be required viewing for all kids to paint the picture of how we as a society can do great things and who the real heroes are...and people that are truly worthy of admiration. It’s pretty clean too.

The Right Stuff is up there too...once they’re a bit older and can handle the language. Then Band of Brothers as well.

Those guys make our current crop of cultural icons look like jokes.

With few exceptions, *cough* Alan Shepard *cough*, most of the first 3 groups of astronauts were legendary pranksters with well-developed senses of humor - that sort of came with the baggage of being a fighter/test pilot, which all of them were (although they were all studious engineers and proto-nerds, too, which gave them a little more balance).
