So, the capsule lands in the deep blue south pacific sea. The air is fragrant. You are the frogman. You and your frogman buddies get the float collar on, and dingy inflated. You climb on the collar, knock on the hatch. The door opens, you stick your head in, and take a deep breath.....

Sometimes spaceflight isn't so glamourous!

I once read that it was real bad on the long duration Gemini flights. Lots of sweating, no cleaning up, no getting out of your seat, living in your suit for half of the time, don't even imagine going to the bathroom (it's that horrible) - all in the free space of a phone booth.


Major Matt Mason - Space Ranger, never talked about this

Gentlemen, if you are into this sort of thing (and I assume that you are):

You may or may not be aware of this, (but if not) Spacecraft Films has restored all of this stuff to the highest visual and audio standard available and transferred it all to DVD for sale to the public. ALL (and I mean all) inflight film and video records that exist of all of the Apollo, Gemini, and soon Mercury missions (including unmanned test flights and all early Saturn test flights) are on these products. There is no corny music or narration to interfere - just as it happened at the time. The Apollo stuff has all of the air/ground audio matched to the visuals. The Gemini stuff has post filght crew debriefings matched to the visuals. If you have old recordings that you made at home of the moon landings - preserve & store them for posterity's sake, and then get this stuff to view and listen to for practical use. If you are into human spaceflight from 1961 to 1972, I guarentee that you will NOT be disappointed. There is nothing else like this collection of complete and restored material available commercially anywhere else in the world. No matter what audio/visual record that you may have of human missions of that era, this stuff is one hundred times better.

I would never normally shill a comercial product like this, but I have purchased their product and have come away astonished at their work.

If you are an Apollo Junkie - this is the ultimate. Just get them. Trust me. You will thank yourself.
