I saw this over thanksgiving. I dug it. I just rented a whole bunch of anime on netflix. What's happening to me?

So eating painkillers and watching anime sounds fun to me.

Minus the anime

it's about a space-training program and how the prospective astronauts deal with the magnitude of what they're about to do, especially the politics of competing nations trying to make their way into space. there are multiple correlations between it and the US/USSR space race. i guess that doesn't sound too interesting, but it's really good anime. it focuses more on story/characters than action, even though there's enough of that.
