Roving MARS $36.95 “Visually Stunning” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post Mars is Earth’s closest planetary neighbor, and for decades scientists have been curious about the so-called “Red Planet,” wondering if it’s possible that life exists there, how its soil and terrain differs from our own, and if water can be found. While sending a manned space mission to Mars has been considered beyond the reach of America’s space program, in 2001 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration approved a mission to send two “rovers” to Mars — wheeled robots that would send images and data back to Earth. A two-year crash program resulted in two robotic rovers (dubbed “Spirit” and “Opportunity”) being sent to Mars, which have given scientists and researchers on Earth a brand new vision of what the planet is really like. Roving Mars is a documentary which offers a detailed look at the people behind the Mars rover program, how the machines were built and what they can do, and what has been learned since they reached their target. Roving Mars was shot and originally exhibited in the high-definition IMAX film format. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide Features: Actors: Paul Newman, Stephen Squyres, Rob Manning (IV), Charles Elachi, Wayne Lee (II) Directors: George Butler (II) Format: AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, DVD-Video, Full Screen, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC Language: English Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Studio: Buena Vista Home Entertainment DVD Release Date: July 31, 2007 Run Time: 40 minutes Bonus Features: Bonus Movie: Mars and Beyond – Walt Disney’s 1957 Investigation into the mysteries of the universe and space travel. 50 minutes. “Mars: Past, Present & Future”- Personal reflections on Mars from the filmmakers, JPL Rover team members and students from the “Imagine Mars” program |

The Space Shuttle: Celebrating Thirty Years of NASA’s First Space Plane [Hardcover] $39.95 The Space Shuttle: Celebrating Thirty Years of NASA’s First Space Plane [Hardcover] Author: Piers Bizony Bookviews by Alan Caruba”…a classic coffee table book, 10.5 x 11.25, 300 pages and filled with 900 color photos. In short, the perfect Christmas gift for someone who is an enthusiast for life and travel in outer space. In the 1980s, on assignment, I had the opportunity to visit the John F. Kennedy Space Center and tour the site where rockets and space shuttles were launched. I saw a shuttle up close and that is to say I saw a vehicle that was the size of a small building and marveled that it could be lifted beyond Earth?s gravity to circle the planet. One can only marvel at the courage of the crews that went aloft and the scientific and technological mastery that made it possible. This book is a keeper!” This superbly designed and lavishly illustrated book marks a special moment in history: the final mission of the space shuttle. Noted space and science author Piers Bizony has put together a retrospective that covers the entire space shuttle program. In addition to covering every space shuttle mission, the book also covers the development and design of the space shuttle, as well as the technical specifications of the vehicle and details of its major assemblies and subassemblies. A full double-gatefold provides a large-scale technical drawing of the space shuttle. Features: Hardcover: 300 pages Publisher: Zenith Press; First edition (October 2, 2011) Language: English Book Dimensions: 11.2 x 10.5 x 1.3 inches |

Celestial Alignment Solar Eclipse Poster 36 x 24 $12.95 Celestial Alignment Solar Eclipse Poster 36 x 24 This poster shows a solar eclipse, along with clouds in the sky.A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth so that the Sun is fully or partially blocked. This can only happen during new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth. At least two and up to five solar eclipses can occur each year on Earth. A total solar eclipse is a spectacular natural phenomenon and many people travel to remote locations to observe one. In ancient times, and in some cultures today, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes. Total solar eclipses can be frightening for people who are unaware of their astronomical explanation, as the Sun seems to disappear in the middle of the day and the sky darkens in a matter of minutes. |

Apollo 12: The NASA Mission Reports $18.95 Apollo 12: The NASA Mission Reports Apollo 12 The NASA Mission Reports comes with a bonus Windows CDROM featuring an exclusive 30th anniversary interview with Command Module Pilot Captain Richard “Dick” Gordon ? the movie “Pinpoint For Science” ? the full EVA television record ? the in flight press conference ? over 2100 still photographs and five Quicktime panoramas of the Ocean Of Storms. When the crew of Apollo 11 returned to Earth in July 1969 they brought with them a wealth of new information about the moon. Now astronauts Charles (Pete) Conrad, Alan Bean and Richard Gordon would return to the moon and build on that knowledge. The real test for the crew of Apollo 12 was not to see if they could get to the moon, but to see if they could get to an exact place on the moon. Their target was in an area known as the Ocean Of Storms. On November 14 1969 the crew of Apollo 12 blasted off to their place in history. Not only would Conrad and Bean become the third and fourth men to walk on the moon but they would land the lunar module Intrepid within 600 feet of their designated target. Waiting for them was the unmanned space probe Surveyor 3 which had soft-landed in April 1967. The flight of Apollo 12, which began almost catastrophically when the huge Saturn V was struck by lightning just moments after lift off, went on to yield an enormous amount of valuable data collected during over seven and a half hours on the lunar surface. On their return home the crew of Apollo 12 became the first humans to witness an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth. In Apollo 12 The NASA Mission Reports some of the rare official documentation of the voyage of Apollo 12 is collected and made commercially available for the first time.

Gemini 12: The NASA Mission Reports $19.95 Gemini 12: The NASA Mission Reports The last Gemini flight would be flown by veteran Commander James Lovell and a brilliant rookie called Edwin ?Buzz? Aldrin. Lovell?s experience gained on Gemini 6 would prove the perfect foundation on which the newcomer Aldrin would be able to build a near-perfect science mission. The task of space-walking had proven arduous and dangerous on previous Gemini flights but after months of rigorous training underwater Aldrin was ready to prove that men could actually work comfortably in space. It was a critical exercise which would determine whether a moonwalking astronaut could survive the experience.After two scrubbed launches the final Gemini-Titan stack soared into low earth orbit and docked with its Agena target vehicle, placed aloft only an hour and a half earlier. Aldrin then spent over five hours working outside the spacecraft. His experience as a scuba diver gave him the edge needed to get the work done without exhausting himself as some of his predecessors had done. After 94½ hours in space Lovell and Aldrin splashed into the Pacific Ocean within three miles of the recovery ship. The stage was now set for the final push for the moon. Bonus: As early as 1961, engineer Jim Chamberlin had wanted to send Gemini to the moon. For the first time details of this audacious plan are revealed in a rare document from 1965. Features and Reviews: Paperback: 264 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing Inc; Bk&CD-Rom edition (January 1, 2004) Language: English Book Dimensions: 10.1 x 6.9 x 0.6 inches Bonus CD-ROM Included!

The Right Stuff (Two-Disc Special Edition) $24.95 The Right Stuff (Two-Disc Special Edition) Philip Kaufman’s intimate epic about the Mercury astronauts (based on Tom Wolfe’s book) was one of the most ambitious and spectacularly exciting movies of the 1980s. It surprised almost everybody by not becoming a smash hit. By all rights, the film should have been every bit the success that Apollo 13 would later become; The Right Stuff is not only just as thrilling, but it is also a bigger and better movie. Combining history (both established and revisionist), grand mythmaking (and myth puncturing), adventure, melodrama, behind-the-scenes dish, spectacular visuals, and a down-to-earth sense of humor, The Right Stuff chronicles NASA’s efforts to put a man in orbit. Such an achievement would be the first step toward President Kennedy’s goal of reaching the moon, and, perhaps most important of all, would win a crucial public relations/morale victory over the Soviets, who had delivered a stunning blow to American pride by launching Sputnik, the first satellite. The movie contrasts the daring feats of the unsung test pilots–one of whom, Chuck Yeager, embodied more than anyone else the skill and spirit of Wolfe’s title–against the heavily publicized (and sanitized) accomplishments of the Mercury astronauts. Through no fault of their own, the spacemen became prisoners of the heroic images the government created for them in order to capture the public’s imagination. The casting is inspired; the film features Sam Shepard as the legendary Yeager, Ed Harris as John Glenn, Dennis Quaid as “Gordo” Cooper, Scott Glenn as Alan Shepard, Fred Ward as Gus Grissom, Scott Wilson as Scott Crossfield, and Pamela Reed and Veronica Cartwright are superb in their thankless roles as astronauts’ wives. DVD features For the film’s 20th anniversary, a new two-disc edition replaces the original bare-bones DVD. The film looked pretty good on the old disc, but there is more depth to the remastered soundtrack and better yet, you don’t need to flip the disc to view the entire film. The second disc of extras is well done. There are 20-minute commentaries from director Philip Kauffman and another track of many actors’ fond reminisces of working on the film. They are so engaging it’s odd to think there wasn’t enough to do a complete commentary track, or even two. A newly produced three-part documentary looks at the project from Tom Wolfe’s book to screenplay, the making-of the movie, and interviews with the real participants of the saga. The 13 additional scenes, sans set-up, are really pieces from the cutting-room floor but curiously interesting. The bulk of the extras is the 90-minute PBS program on the life and times of John Glenn, aired around the time of–and mostly about–his second trip into space in 1998. Details: Actors: Sam Shepard, Scott Glenn, Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Fred Ward. Directors: Philip Kaufman Format: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen, NTSC Language: Engli |

Upon approaching the moon, the spacecraft was oriented with the service propulsion engine facing in the direction of travel. Communication with Earth was temporarily interrupted as the spacecraft swung around the far side of the moon. On their own, the crew performed the complicated procedure which fired the engine for a little over 4 minutes thereby slowing the speed of the spacecraft just enough to place it into lunar orbit. This was a critical maneuver and everyone was more than just a little tense as the engine had never been tested in lunar orbit before this mission. Any malfunctions or deviation in burn time could have lead to disastrous consequences.. Jim Lovell later stated it was the longest four minutes he had ever spent. Everyone was relieved as the engine performed flawlessly and on Christmas Eve the crew of Bill Anders, Frank Borman and Jim Lovell became the first human beings in history to orbit another celestial body other than the planet earth.
