Essential Space Collection

I believe that this DVD has touched up on the where we are and where we can go. It gives us a view into a possible future beyond the face of our planet. I enjoyed how it was presented in content and also believe that we will likely take this type of path to the beyond in the years ahead. The key players in the DVD are cutting edge people. The industry needs more of them I think. This is a must have DVD. Thanks, Rick L.

This is a great collection of space history. I hope all elementary children get to see this. It is interesting to see how exciting exploration forcasts from just a few years ago are already foiled, coincidental to the greedy wall street housing crash that robbed the world economy of money. Of special note is the emotional love of space exploration expressed in the X prize Black Sky episode by the pilot's trust and his wife.

Bought this for teens (I work at a teen shelter). The information was great for a nerd like me, but about killed the teens trying to watch it.

Ugh. Sorry, Mr. Michener's heirs. I cut my teeth on Hawaii when I was ten. I think my biggest problem with Space is that I have already seen tons of documentaries about the space program. However, if I hadn't - this book would have brought me up to speed wonderfully and with terrific scientific and political fact. I am glad I read it, albeit skimming 100 of the last 150 pages, but admittedly, it was a chore to finish. I respect this author immensely, so I'll leave it at: Great Information on our space program and it's politics.

The collection contains six presentations, including "BLACK SKY" an excellent documentary of Burt Rutan's development of Space Ship One, and "BASE CAMP MOON" which reviews future returns to the moon and development of a moon base. There are four other interesting Space Exploration presentations you may have missed from the Science Channel.

I bought this because I like alot of folks,love outer space stuff,This dvd has something to entertain everyone in your family,It takes you to different planets and moons,and shows you what it should be like if you could go there.It also tells of a few things we are tring now.It is well worth the price.

My kids loved it. think they watched it several times. had great information for them. they learned lots of science info. need to type more other wise, amzn will not let me publish my review.

Outdated garbage. Poor graphics and often times childish in presentation. Go with The History Channel "The universe" for real programs on what the falsely advertised to be.
