I just received my DVD "LITTLE JOE Mercury's First Steps" from
www.rocket.aero (aka James Duffy).
Its an absolutely outstanding collection of NASA film clips, launch videos and photos packaged neatly and presented professionally on a DVD format.
Theres an original documentary (hence the title above) narrated and everything!
Some of the launch videos look a bit pixely when viewed on a big screen like 32" or so. Probably cuz they were digitized for computer screens in the first place.
Most of the other videos are super sharp, like they were transferred directly from film to tape.
I especially enjoyed the videos of the manufacturing and assembling process. Its surprising that back in the day, they weren't concerned all that much with hard hats and safety goggles---at least on the assembly floor.
Its cool to see a LJ being bolted together with spanking new pieces painted with only a protective layer of paint, and not the gobbed on one-coat latex you see on all the displays nowadays.
At $19.95 its a bargain!!!!
Check it out ASAP.
A giddy satisfied customer.
