Space
Exploration, US Space Program, 3 DVD SET! |
Since the dawn of time,
man has always been interested in space exploration.
Countless books and stories have been written and movies
made on the subject. It was only been less than 40
years since that fascination has turned into a reality.
This amazing collection takes you through the US Space
Program at the very beginning. This set of hard to
find documentaries shows you some of our brightest moments,
and our most tragic failures.
This collection is our largest space collection, and we
believe the best one out there as one set. This is a
must have set of films for any space buff, educator,
student, and scholar alike. Makes an awesome gift for
that astronomer in your family.
This collection contains about 6 and a
half hours of film on 3 DVD's. Each DVD
comes with a fully interactive menu. A list of films
included is as follows: |

Space Shuttle Challenger
Accident Investigation (1986)
NASA documnetary detailing the
events surrounding the loss of OV-099, Space Shuttle
Challenger, shortly after the launch of the 25th flight of
the Space Transportation System, Mission STS-51L, on 28
January, 1986, and the subsequent investigation into the
loss of the vehicle and its crew of seven. The investigation
shows that the Solid Rocket Booster field joints were of an
insufficiently fault-tolerant design and when the vehicle
was launched at below-normal temperatures, hot exhaust
gasses leaked on ignition, damaging the integrity of the
field joint, leading to a breach in the external tank and
destruction of the orbiter.

The John Glenn Story
(1963) This brief,
30-minute biographical documentary looks at the early life
and professional career of American astronaut John Glenn
(before his days in politics). Several of the people who
knew him "back when" in New Concord, Ohio take up a certain
amount of time reminiscing on Glenn's boyhood and then the
docu segues into the astronaut's preparations for his space
flight -- three orbits around the earth, and then home
again. Included are interior shots aboard the Friendship
Seven space capsule, and Glenn's comments as he works inside
the capsule during this mission.

DVD format and quality
All of our DVD's sold are
formatted NTSC, without region coding. This means that they
will play on any NTSC DVD Player in the world. The standard in
USA is NTSC. For those in Europe, your DVD player may be a PAL
format, which will not work. For those overseas customers,
please verify that your DVD player can play NTSC disks.
Please note, that most of the
films on our disks were made 40 years ago or more. Some
perhaps as old as 80 or 90 years! As you can imagine, the
movie making equipment of the time was a lot more primitive than the
high tech equipment that they use today. Also, many of these
films were stored improperly for decades before being digitally
coded. As a result of this, these films are not what one would
consider to be "DVD quality" today. Many, if not most,
are black and white. The sound and picture quality is not
perfect. There are those occasional "snap, crackle, and pops"
across many of these films. We
feel that these imperfections add to a film's charm, and provide for
a more authentic viewing experience. WIth that in mind, this
collection may not be for those wishing to
find digitally remastered and professional recolored duplications of
the original work in perfect DVD quality. Please keep that in mind prior to purchase,
since we have fully disclosed that to you. |
Catalog Number |
This
item is our catalog #J16. If you purchase another item with
this same catalog number, you will get two identical items.
Given this, we cannot offer refunds for customers who accidentally
purchased two identical disks without reading this auction fully. |
|
Questions and Answers: |
Why should I buy from you? There are lots of places to buy
similar stuff on ebay. What makes you so special? |
What separates us from the
rest is that we want you to be happy. If you're happy, you'll buy
from us again and tell your friends. Getting one sale from you is
great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that.
It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer. If
you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem. How
many sellers will say that? |
Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay. Are you saying the
rest of them will rip me off? |
No, of course not.
But, beware of what people sell on ebay. Many sellers on here will
charge you an exhorbitant amount for shipping. Many will
"claim" to provide discount shipping only when you contact them,
they'll tell you they'll take a quarter off the shipping price for
each additional item. We never do that. Our combined
shipping policy is clearly spelled out for those to see. No
tricky or cheap discounts. Just Buy 3, Get One Free.
Simple as that. Also, when comparing our films to those of
others, take note of not only the price of the item, but also the
content. You'll see that we not only offer more films per
package then our competition, and not only at the cheapest shipping,
but also at the cheapest price too. |
I live in country ABC,
will your DVD work in my DVD player? |
Short answer, probably.
Long answer, it depends. There are two formats of DVD in the
world. NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the standard for the US and
I believe Japan, along with some other countries too. PAL is
popular in Europe. If you have an NTSC DVD player (all USA
customers), this disk will work for you. If you have a PAL
player, this won't. Also, many commercial DVD's out there have
region coding. Without getting in a long discussion on it,
none of our DVD's have any region coding, so that won't be an issue.
All you need to know is whether or not your DVD player is an NTSC
format. |
What if my disk arrives
damaged? |
We offer a no muss, no
fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge. |
|
Testimonial emails from customers: |

engaged. Thank you so much." Andrea P., Memphis, TN. |

All items will be shipped out within 1
business day to your PayPal address. We will only ship to your PayPal verified address.
Please view our shipping and sales tax rules on our shipping and
payments tab above.
All items are shipped by USPS first class mail. In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers. All of our disks are labeled with a clean label
and some graphics.
The disks are made this way for speed and cost, which translates
into lower cost for you. We focus our efforts on the quality of the
material on the disk. We do not believe in charging you an
extra 3 or 4 dollars like some companies out there just to throw
in a 25 cent plastic case and slap a color label on an item.
We believe you purchase for content, and ours is the best,
although we still believe you will be pleased with the
presentation.
PLEASE READ
ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:
The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay's estimates,
not ours. Sometimes ebay's dates are completely
unrealistic. Every effort is made to get your item out the
next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please
understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since
the USPS does not give us a guarantee either. Below is our
estimates on what to expect:
USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in
about 1 week after we ship them depending on where you are at.
However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very
cooperative with us and we've had a couple of customers wait a few
days longer than that. If the item does not arrive, please
email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right.
NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your
packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship
them. We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been
waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments. The only
explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some
container in some dock waiting on customs clearance. It happens,
and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very
little we can do about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace
it.
Multiple items purchased by the same
customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our
discretion. We do not offer any additional discounts on
multiple items other than the ones noted above.
Feedback Policy:
Please offer us a chance
to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any
reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing
we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they
give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad
feedback. If negative feedback is left without any prior
communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in
communicating and working things out.
If you run into
issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain
from opening a request on ebay and email us directly by asking a
question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a
request!
If you have any questions
prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us
know. Thank you!!!!!!
