I'm not sure how "Bondian" it is, but I love that laser battle in space at the end of Moonraker, with the astronauts fighting above the space shuttles.

I loved the extensive use of the Space Shuttle Orbiters two year's before the real NASA launch of the Columbia.<br /><br />SGBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-9987561964076634502012-10-18T09:20:15.078-04:002012-10-18T09:20:15.078-04:00Oh, yeah.
