I'd like to know which of the three following is best:

Eyes on Mars
Wheels on Mars
Mars, dead or alive.

And how i can get (one, two or all three of) them for a reasonable price. From USA they want to bill me another 20 USD for shipping to Holland, which is even more than the retailprice of the DVD itself. Can i buy them in Europe somewhere ?

Any more DVD's about Mars recommended ?

Marcel.

The PBS NOVA program "Mars: Dead or Alive" smile.gif pancam.gif wheel.gif

is outstanding and was first broadcast as Spirit was landing in Jan 2004.

A year later in Jan 2005, PBS NOVA followed up with the equally excellent "Welcome to Mars" smile.gif pancam.gif wheel.gif

which covers most of the first year of flight operations and also includes additional Dan Maas footage of Oppy approaching Endurance.


They are "must haves" which I highly recommend. Both have extensive interviews and behind the scenes shots with Steve Squyres and many other members of the MER teams.

here is the link to PBS website for lots more info on both DVD's

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mars/

"Eyes on Mars" is from Space.com and is all pre-landing

its good and has an excellent interview with Dan Maas pancam.gif explaining the details of his fabulous animation. That alone makes it worthwhile
