Product Description:
Since the dawn of mankind, we have stared up at the lights in the sky and wondered... Now join the heroic men and women who have dared the impossible on some of the greatest adventures ever undertaken - the quest to reach out beyond Earth and into the great unknown of space! To celebrate 50 years of incredible achievements, the Discovery Channel has partnered with NASA to reveal the epic struggles, tragedies and triumphs in a bold chapter of human history. Along with the candid interviews of the people who made it happen, hundreds of hours of never-before-seen film footage from the NASA archives - including sequences on board the actual spacecraft in flight - have been carefully restored, edited and compiled for this landmark collection.
*Original NASA footage digitally remastered in high-definition featuring exclusive;''never before seen''; footage
*4 hours of bonus footage not seen in TV broadcast.

Although I haven't yet skimmed through the extra footage at all, the content used for the main features was excellent. Sure there are some flaws in the original media that shows through on the conversion but otherwise it's really excellent. What I found interesting was when the original footage changes from film to tape the quality of the images actually goes down so in some ways the original mercury shots of launches and the centre are actually better. This changes back once you get some better shuttle and space ... Read More
