using your comment from another context --
I saw the IMAX 3D movie of the Space Station a week and a half ago in
Berlin, and ... Wow!
If Lockheed Martin's goal was to propagandize the view of humans living
and working in space (on the ISS) reaching outwards, then they
succeeded. (now I dislike the space station less)
The 3D features of the film combined with our brains integrating those
features puts you right there in space with the astronauts, flying
through the minimal-gravity tubes, grabbing their pens as they float
away. Best of all, the film promoted the concept of our blue-green
planet with no political boundaries and humans as able to separate
from Mother Earth, at the same time of cherishing it.
I highly recommend this film.
