Reviews for the The Secret NASA Transmissions, Vol. 2  New Price: $2.00 Mars: The Red Planet
Actor: Mars-the Red Planet DescriptionMars: The Red Planet takes DVD viewers where they've never been before: on a personal, guided tour of one of the galaxy's long-standing, and greatest mysteries. This 90-minute program; which includes 80 minutes of 5.1 Channel Dolby Digital music performed by Ryan Shore; features an array of video, still images, interactive maps and historical spacecraft graphics. Advanced DVD features include multi-angle video, multi-track audio, 3D video and still images, informational subtitles, dual operational mode, WebDVD support, and a Windows 95/98/NT screen saver. Amazon.comThe word "interactive" gets bandied about quite a bit in the DVD world, but here's a disc that simply wouldn't work without interactivity. While there is an "Entertainment Mode" on the disc that lets the viewer passively experience a 90-minute presentation of video clips, the real indispensable part is the "Interactive Mode," which contains a wealth of information on the Red Planet that any self-respecting Mars aficionado will crawl, beg, or steal to possess. Detailed information on NASA missions abounds, including video clips and simulations of some missions. Views of Mars, in 3-D (glasses included) or not, provide a 360-degree panorama from landing several sites. Even the famous Face on Mars is featured in a section called "Martian Coronae." But the most valuable section of the disc is its "Interactive Maps," allowing the user to hop around the planet and zoom in on any area of interest. This feature alone could cause any Mars-lover to lose track of time. Also included is an art gallery featuring artists' conceptions of Mars, along the lines of what it would be like during colonization. Accompanying the many videos and views of the planet is an electronic version of Holst's The Planets, performed by Ryan Shore. With all this and DVD-ROM features to boot, it would be exceedingly hard to get bored. A must-have for anyone interested in Mars. --Jim Gay

Actor: ' Product Description40Th Anniversary Collection. On July 20, 1969 the lunar module ""Eagle"" separated from the Apollo 11 command module and began its slow descent toward the surface of the moon. Upon landing it delivered Neil Armstrong and Edwin ""Buzz"" Aldrin into the pages of history, thereby fulfilling the promise of a president and the dream of a nation. Compiled from original NASA footage and introduced by NASA astronauts, this collection is a comprehensive history of man's exploration of space. Part 1: Starting in 1960 with the Mercury program that paved the way for Gemini, Apollo, the space shuttles and Skylab missions that may one day spawn inter-planetary travel for all. In hot pursuit of the Russians who had already put a man into space, NASA launched America's first man in space, Alan Shepard in 'Freedom 7' and John Glenn, became the first American to orbit the earth in 'Friendship 7'. The race to the moon was on! Part 2: The eagle has landed and America wins the race to put the first man on the moon, watched by over 1 billion people around the world! The Gemini 8 mission is aborted and a hasty return to earth followed, the Skylab mission shows what the future holds but not without it's own setbacks. It was however the Apollo 13 mission that tempered the glorification of space travel. The real story of how human spirit and ingenuity saved the crew and the mission from ending in tragedy. Part 3: As the 60's ended the Apollo mission program completes it's detailed exploration of the moon. Back on earth it was the Soviet-American space agreement that led to the world's two 'superpowers' collaborating to expedite the exploration of outer-space. The beginning of this new era saw the first Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1972. 'On The Shoulders of Giants' is a tribute to the Apollo mission program. Part 4: The successful launch of the Space Shuttle program showed the way forward for the future colonization of outer-space. The first reusable fixed-wing spacecraft to go into orbit and the first spacecraft to make its maiden voyage with astronauts aboard! This detailed look at the Space Shuttle program covers not only its development and first launch but demonstrates the program's potential in opening new frontiers in space.
Reviews for the NASA: THE COMPLETE STORY  New Price: $36.00 False Dawn: The Promise of Apollo
Actor: ' Product Description1960s America was deeply divided. The civil rights movement and severe poverty upset the established order. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought us to the brink of nuclear war, and the fear of Communism across the world swept through Middle America like wild fire, giving rise to the U.S. intervention in Vietnam. Then President Kennedy launched the inspirational race to the moon--a quest for mankind to conquer technological difficulties and explore space. The massive cost--at a time when millions of Americans lived below the poverty line--was justified to take the first step to meaningful exploration of space, understanding our universe and breaking free from our small but beautiful planet to live among the stars.The Apollo moon landings promised much, but ultimately amounted to a "false dawn." Recently released transcripts of White House meetings support the theory that the president only supported moon missions to detract attention from the escalating domestic and international situation and prove that Communism was inferior.In the first decade of the New Millennium, we have witnessed the tragedy of 9/11, the war on terrorism, multi-national forces in Iraq and Afghanistan in a deeply unpopular "occupation" and mounting tensions over Iran. And yet, in the midst of these developments, the U.S. Space Program has again been put at the forefront of the political agenda by President George W. Bush's New Vision for Space--advocating a return to the moon and beyond by 2010. But is this another "false dawn?" The debate starts here.

Reviews for the NASA - 25 Years of Glory Vol. 1  Price: $29.95 Space Worker: NASA after Challenger and Columbia
Actor: Astronauts DescriptionAfter the challenger disaster, thousands of individuals who worked at NASA were depressed, and America lost its interest in space. The fascination with space-- our passion to see ourselves in space as soon as humanly possible, has not returned. This program, a public television Primetime special, goes behind the scenes at NASA to look at and talk with NASA management and others about our space program. It is extremely revealing, with some of our greatest space visionaries presenting their views as to why we should be in space -- how we could get there—and what we could find there.
