Bruce Dern, as an engineer whose wartime mission was to deliver Hitler's rocket experts into U.S. hands, returned to television after a lengthy career in films and won a Best Supporting Actor (in a miniseries) nod in the second annual Television Movie Awards from the International Television Movie Festival. Two directors worked on "Space" and split the chores -- Joseph Sargent directed Parts 1 and 5; Lee Philips the middle 3. The production won an Emmy nomination as Outstanding Limited Series, in addition to two technical awards.
