Heroes: Made in the USA
Episode 6
S1 E6:
If the first American in space isn't a hero, then no one is! America's premier astronaut, Admiral Alan Shepard, goes to space camp, looking for the right stuff in tomorrow's space explorers. Olympic gold medal diver Greg Louganis soars up into the air like an eagle before piercing the water with hardly a ripple. Vietnam vet Ron Kovic lived the 'Platoon' experience. He also shares the goal of that award-winning movie: to make sure it never happens again.
