The ride of his life...

In 1999 KACV sent a camera crew to follow Rick Husband as he trained for a 10 day mission aboard the shuttle Discovery. The documentary follows Rick's trajectory from grade school where he expressed an interest in being in space, all the way through his college and military careers as he prepares for his ultimate dream...pilot on the space shuttle for the ride of his life.
There's something about his wholesome enthusiasm that makes this original production permanently watchable. Rick Husband: Man With a Mission...8pm

At 11 we re-broadcast the American Masters special Troubadours: Carole King and James Taylor and the Rise of the Singer-Songwriter. Priceless footage of early performances and interviews by the likes of Taylor, King, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne...along with others. Must see TV.
