The first movie was about the history of the rail service across the Rocky Mountains - it was a wonderful mix of the history of the line's construction plus a lot of spectacular footage of the train and the scenery through which it passes.

The second movie featured the Hubble Space Telescope with footage of a crew being launched up into space to carry out essential repairs to the telescope, and the actual repair work itself. However, it wasn't all technical stuff, as we also enjoyed some unique footage of the more distant parts of the universe, taken from the Telescope.

All in all, a pretty good way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday!
