    I just watched it and for technology that has been around since the Apollo era it looked as sweet as a nut and I liked the camera inside the spaceship and the mini Sputnik hanging there which acts as a zero gravity indicator is a very nice touch

    I was afraid you mightn't see much in the dark but it lit up the screen very nicely

    Technically speaking the capsule dates from the Apollo era but the first one and a half stages are Sputnik era, with lots and lots of updates ;)

    Many thanks for the note about the launch Ghost Train. I watched the coverage on Nasa TV - terrific background stuff and nice to see the parts where the crew spoke to family and friends in the hours before departure.
