The television audiences that watched the astronauts perform last week were much smaller than those that watched Neil Armstrong's first step onto the moon in 1969. But even the most jaded viewer had to be inspired by the sight of six men and one woman, dancing through the vastness of space, doing a job that no one could be sure was even possible...
