5.0 out of 5 stars Like taking the space shuttle, January 24, 2002

By	Mario G. Perez Fonseca "Gerry Blue" (Guitarland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This amazing dvd has one of the crispiest images I've ever seen. Filmed using IMAX cameras, only the digital media of the dvd can truly live up to it. Through more than 50 minutes, the apacible music and the soothing voice of Leonard Nemoy's take you trhough a journey of the metaphisical. Learn how the Space Shuttle deploys satellites, what it may take for us to go to other planets, or simply relax and hold your breath at the many sights of earth from 400 KM above ground. If you are into space, this one is a must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Planet, December 14, 2004

By	Maria Amy-moreno (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blue Planet/The Dream is Alive/Destiny in Space (DVD)

I recently purchased the DVD titled Blue Planet, not the 3 DVD collection, and I loved it! It is an impressively superb documentary that shows our planet from outer space. There is an astronaut that talks about the ozone layer, the atmosphere, etc.. It is worth watching it. I also took it to my classroom and showed it to the eighth grade class. They were hypnotized and enjoyed the documentary. Most importantly, they learned about our planet.

If you are an earth science lover or has a friend who happens to be a science teacher, this would be a treat. I am planning to purchase the other 2 DVD titles about Earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD, December 2, 2001

By	Charles Burgess (sunny FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent near Earth orbit photography plus great CGI of Martian and Venerian topography. Shots of the shuttle and various satellites the best!
