E!'s re-enactments are serious--or at least are meant to be--but you can't turn on a talk show without seeing a jokey re-creation of one sort or another.

One trip, for example, would require a roundabout swing past Venus, which would lend the craft a gravitational boost in acceleration. On the voyage, the crew module would constantly spin, to provide artificial gravity, and would be equipped with an automatic solar monitoring system and a shielded "storm cellar" in the event-of a solar flare. To give the crew emotional solace in the blackness of space, the interior could be decorated with soothing colors like fawn beige and periwinkle...
