3.0 out of 5 stars There Goes a Faux Spaceship...., November 21, 2001

might have been a better title. We have 2 others in this series, Fire Truck and Bulldozer, and they are worn thin from my kids' constant watching of them. This one is different, though-- it is mostly about Dave and Becky goofily doing astronaut training stuff, and then dreaming that they are lost on a faraway planet (that looks an awful lot like the California desert) with no way home. This is interesting to a point, but it's not the same sort of truck-o-licious excitement that makes your toddler jump up and down and scream "TUCK!!! TUCK!!!" like they will for the others in this series. And I could have definitely done without the discussion of how astronauts go to the bathroom in their space suits-- as if little boys need any encouragement to go on a potty talk binge. I think this video provides an interesting look into how astronauts train, and some info about what it's like to ride in a space shuttle, but there's nothing learned about space itself (which my kids and I were hoping for) and it's not the same sort of gee-whiz experience as the other, more vehicle-filled titles in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not Earth-shattering, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: There Goes a Spaceship [VHS] (VHS Tape)

So far, all of the "There Goes a..." series that I've seen have been wonderful videos. They entertain as well as educate and, of course, they're all about big, noisy, powerful vehicles containing footage that grabs you attention. Although this video does have some shots of the space shuttle, it doesn't seem to be as impressive as the other Fire Truck, Train or Garbage Truck videos that I've seen. And the mini-"Planet Of the Apes" at the end really does nothing for the video... It's interesting, but not as captivating as the more "down to Earth" videos.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best of this usually great series, August 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: There Goes a Spaceship [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As a big fan on the "There Goes A ..." series, I was disappointed with this one. The first 20 minutes are great, but the final "dream" sequence at the end is a boring waste of film and drags on forever. My 2 year-old son, however, loves it. He looks puzzled during the aforementioned dream sequence, but he loves Dave and Becky and hangs in there anyway. Too bad they didn't find a better use of the "dream" time! Perhaps too much of the NASA footage is copyrighted?
