The Rise & Fall of Penn Station

In 1910, the Pennsylvania Railroad successfully accomplished the enormous engineering feat of building tunnels under New York City's Hudson and East Rivers, connecting the railroad to New York and New England, knitting together the entire eastern half of the United States. The tunnels terminated in what was one of the greatest architectural achievements of its time, Pennsylvania Station. Penn Station covered nearly eight acres, extended two city blocks, and housed one of the largest public spaces in the world. But just 53 years after the station’s opening, the monumental building that was supposed to last forever, to herald and represent the American Empire, was slated to be destroyed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I felt that this movie made a big emphasis on the emotional cost of the shuttle program to the US, like they were apologizing for not going to the moon again or investing in missions outside the Earth's orbit.The US decided to spend everything they had in developing the shuttle program in order to build the ISS, and they ended up having two major incidents where men and women died, so this film pays tribute to them and shows veterans of NASA talking about people they knew personally going up to space and not coming back, so it gets emotional for some parts. I think I would've liked more of a technical story where they speak about the design origins, the first tests, and all the missions that flew well, did their job and returned. I would've liked more exposition on the amazing characteristics of the shuttle, and they rather showed lots of their very embarrassing design issues like the foam that crashes the heat shields on every takeoff and that was responsible for the Columbia tragedy... but the visuals and the narrative are very well done, a nice tribute to the last shuttle mission and a good overall introduction to the shuttle legacy.
