Series Description

The Cape TV show was a 60 minute sci-fi series that aired in syndication. It was about the lives of NASA Astronauts. While the inter-relations between them and there friends were interesting, there was little attention paid to space itself. This probably made the series less expensive to produce and also cost it most of the potential audience. There were however brief scenes of the astronauts in training and on actual Space Shuttle missions.
