This is an extraordinary series. Watch the entire first season, and once you get to the last episode -- especially if you have an ounce of FLOSS in your bones -- I dare you not to stand on the couch yelling, "He knew it! He knew it! In NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE!"
It was in the air (zeitgeist). Think Unix before the AT&T lawyers (copyleft and BSD license hacks). And the Apollo launchpad starting scene says it all... (think STS)
