ASIN : B0001NBM58 DescriptionIn July and early August of 1971, NASA embarked on an ambitious and challenging lunar mission - the journey of Apollo 15 to the Hadley-Apennine region. The first of the "J" lunar missions, Apollo 15 took the first Lunar Rover to the surface, allowing the crew to explore the beautiful region of Mt. Hadley and Hadley Rille over 3 days. New science was conducted in orbit as well, with the addition of an array of photographic and scientific instruments in the Apollo CSM. This 6-disc set tells the amazing story of Apollo 15 through compelling sounds and images of the film and television record of the mission. From training on the Lunar Rover to the first live liftoff from moon, you'll be there for each moment of the TV downlink and each foot of onboard motion picture film. Included are the raw television transmissions from the flight to the moon, all three moonwalks, plus the lunar liftoff, Trans-Earth EVA, in-flight press conference and more. This set also contains multi-angle views of liftoff and coverage of recovery through the statements of the crew on the carrier deck. You'll discover Hadley Rille as you've never seen it before. Amazon.comMankind's greatest adventure is remembered for the digital age. The DVD format changed the way we look at movies and especially TV series, with massive complete-season sets. That concept is spectacularly taken one step further with Spacecraft Films' definitive collections of the Gemini and Apollo space missions, stuffing in nearly every scrap of TV transmissions and on-board footage. The three- to six-disc sets use the full functions of the DVD format; see a liftoff in six different angles (some remixed with 5.1 sound) or listen to a mixture of air-to-ground communications, official NASA narration, or post-flight debriefings, most often carefully synched to the exact moment of footage seen. Like any good research paper, every bit of footage may not be interesting, but taken as a chronicle of history, it's irreplaceable.
The fourth landing on the moon was a big step up for the Apollo missions--color TV cameras, more flexible suits, and a rover to take astronauts David Scott and Irwin several miles around the Hadley Rille hills--the most dramatic terrain of any of the moon shots. With all the new technology came a lot more film (21 hours), much of which is the very watchable, yet grainy feeds that were seen on millions of TVs in July 1971. You also get the audio-only portions when the rover moves between the station stops--long moments of static, thankfully accompanied by many of the still shots by the astronauts. The clarity of the 16mm segments is always a welcome sight, although surprisingly little was shot on the moon. Two split-scene sequences of the lunar module leaving the moon are excellent. Those who are moon-shot newbies may scream for an editor, or at least a short documentary (or Walter Cronkite) explaining the terms, mission goals, who's who, or what the "Genesis rock" is (it's an ancient moon rock, far different from the others). Except for a quick CGI segment of the landing site and a DVD booklet, there is no outside explanation. --Doug Thomas

ASIN : 630577434X Amazon.comThis 44-minute documentary chronicles the amazing interplanetary journeys of the two Voyager probes that explored the outer planets of our solar system. The film, sans narration, is a collection of images--a mixture of computer animation and actual photographs--set to classical music. The film was made in 1990 right after Voyager 2's final encounters with Neptune, and the computer animation is dated. Superimposed titles are used to relay information and catalog the images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and their moons. As a scientific study, the film doesn't come close to the various Nova and Discovery Channel documentaries on the subject. However, as a stellar travelogue, the movie works quite well as copious images float in and out of frame. The accompanying classical music--inspired by Kubrick's selections for 2001--should be cranked up. The final product can easily play in the background of a party as a new type of "video art." --Doug Thomas

Reviews for the Apollo 13: Houston We've Had a Problem  New Price: $39.95 Alien Planet ~ See what Science Predicts (DVD, 100 minutes)
ASIN : B001872J6C Product DescriptionBased upon the book "Expedition" by Wayne D. Barlowe, "Alien Planet" is no longer just a domain of science fiction. The film dramatizes an exciting and possible answer to what alien life really looks like and when we'll find it. Computer animated documentary will take you on a journey to another planet, Darwin IV, 6.5 light years from Earth, with 2 suns and 60% of Earth's gravity and an atmosphere capable of supporting life. Having identified Darwin IV as a likely home for life, scientists send a series of unmanned probes to the planet. Initially, the expectation is to find microscopic life. But the probes soon find themselves in the middle of a developed ecosystem, teeming with diverse creatures of all sizes. Peering through the "eyes" of the probes, marvel at the planet's bizarre inhabitants - like the lumbering Groveback, which supports a mini forest of vegetation on its back; deadly Prongheads who hunt in packs like wolves; and the graceful Gyrosprinter, an elk-like creature with a body dotted by luminescent biolights. The look and biology of each animal is based on the laws of evolution and physics, then modeled to fit the hypothetical environment of Darwin IV. Leading minds in the fields of paleontology, astrophysics and astrobiology explain how these creatures might evolve otherworldly characteristics like hollow bodies, "jet" propulsion and piercing tongue skewers. The drama on Darwin IV is motivated by real science missions, such as the NASA Origins Program and the NASA/JPL Planet-Finder Mission, as well as the European Space Agency's Darwin Project. "Alien Planet" is a cosmic expedition along side Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, John Horner, Curtis Clark, Craig Venter, George Lucas, and NASA's Chief Scientist Jim Garvin.
