Don’t go to Mission to Mir, the latest IMAX movie from the Smithsonian
Institution, for a history lesson (the Cold War is over. Oh…). Do go for
fascinating views of cramped and cosy Mir, the ageing Russian station that looks

astronauts like Shannon Lucid, whose Midwestern optimism is as corny as it is
compelling. Spaceflight with a human face. Showing at the institution’s National
Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.
