Did anyone record (preferably on DVD) these BBC Horizon documentaries?
1. Saturn - lord of the rings 2. Titan - a place like home ? Excellent documentaries but unavailable via BBC although many people already requested that BBC should make theme-related DVD sets of their Horizon documentaries!

OK, due to everyone's great recommendations, I bought both Mars, Dead or Alive and Welcome to Mars on DVD, should have them by the end of the week....
BTW, has anyone seen the BBC production of Voyage to the Planets and Beyond - I think it was called Space Odyssey in the UK... It was fairly cheap at BestBuy.com ($14.99 US) for the DVD and I would be interested in opinions if it's too corny. PS-I hope linking to an actual commercial site doesn't break the rules... let me know and I will remove the link if need be. -------------------- Lyford Rome

Space Odyssey was all right, nothing great to be honest. You wont learn anything, but it's got some nice eye candy. at $15 I'd probably get it. There is a sibling program that highlight the missions from which much of the scientific basis for the program came from though.

Indeed Doug, the documentaries on Space Odyssey won't learn anything special to passionate unmanned space enthusiasts but are great to watch...
I've bought the DVD for the 60 minutes documentary on it which gives an overview of Unmanned spaceflight missions to the planets... I have added DVDs on my Mars-literature weblog (lower right portion) http://mars-literature.skynetblogs.be/ (I can recommend the Beagle 2 DVD) Best regards, Philip

They DVD'd the Beagle programs from the OU

The book entitled ' The Guide to Beagle 2 ' is an excellent softcover book, in fact a technical description of the lander and its instruments, 222 glossy pages, which can still be ordered from Open University !
It was published in December 2003 and has superb color photos on the assembly of the lander and engineers designing and testing all aspect of Beagle 2 ! The weblog is just intended to show the covers of the books & magazines but send me an e-mail or forum-message and I'll be glad to give more infos

I have downloaded them from mvgroup.org forum. So far I only have seen the Saturn and I was a bit disappointed. If you follow Cassini's (and Huygen's) adventures, there is little new to be found. Also the feature ends with SOI, so nothing about Titan, Enceladus etc. What's nice is to see all these scientist we know only by names in person. Also the documentary manages to get across some of the awe of Saturnian system. Borek |

Meanwhile spacecraftfilms.com has announced the first DVD-sets on unmanned spaceflight
I have contacted Mark of spacecraftfilms and suggested to divide the unmanned DVD-sets according to target/destination of the spacecraft... So a set on the inner planets Mercury & Venus (Mariner & Magellan), a set on the Gas giants (Pioneer & Voyager) and probably several sets on Mars-exploration, ...  http://www.spacecraftfilms.com/future.html

I was looking at the price of getting all the early MER live coverage and dumping it to DVD as a small commercial exercise - I wonder how well it would sell.

It'd have to be expensive ( it costs quite a lot to get footage from JPL ) - something like £20 a copy. It's a 'autumn' project I think
