Follow-up to Shuttle Launch

Referring to my earlier post...

I'd like to recommend two DVD's to all of you out there.

The first is From the Earth to the Moon. This is a documentary produced by Tom Hanks about our epic journey towards the moon. The interesting thing is that it shows so many different facets of the story. Even those who've never shown the least interest in our space history have been enraptured by this DVD collection.

It's well worth the investment (for you penny pinchers out there, you get more video time per dollar than most movies.) So, go to Amazon and pick up your copy today. Sit down with the family and learn about all that it took to get mankind from the Earth to the Moon.

Now, this next movie is truly special. One of the benefits of space travel is being able to see our universe from a unique and different perspective. For All Mankind is a film composed Entirely of footage filmed by the astronauts themselves. It's edited together, with commentary, and is spectacular.
This is a gem that is little known but is a MUST see.

Want to know more? Drop a line and I'll chat your fingers to the bone about this...
