5.0 out of 5 stars It just keeps getting better!, July 28, 2009

By	Josh Yates (Phenix City, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very informative, educational, interesting, and fun! The special effects and great narrative performance makes this show my favorite. This is by far the best TV series I have ever seen. I have watch every episode multiple times. Another great thing about this show is that it includes some of the greatest physicist of today, such as Michio Kaku. I highly recommended anybody who is even slightest interested in the final frontier to add this DVD set to their collection.

I especially love the episode "Parallel Universes". For all open minded people, this is an episode you must see.

5.0 out of 5 stars No words to describe how wonderful is this Documentary, January 31, 2009

By	Elton Celio De Oliveira "Elton" (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wonderfull set of DVD that take us to a journey of reality about the Universe we live.
In my opinion the only negative point of ths product is that it has no subtittle, and a serie like this must have subtittles in various languages, including Portuguese.
All the schools in the world have to have this DVDs to exib it to the fellows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it !, September 24, 2009

By	Serg "Serg" (US) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

A lot of animation with good narrations. 4 disks Set. Every disk 3 episodes about 45 min duration.

Disk 1

"Deep space disasters"
"Parallel Universes" - Our co-existence in parallel dimensions
"Light speed"

Disk 2

"Sex in space" - kinda awkward theme but gives you a thought about impossibility to develop healthy body in weightless conditions.
"Alien faces" - like Sci Fi movie based on guesses and graphic
"Deadly comets and meteors" - Endlessly dieing dinosaurs and continuously falling meteors on Earth, theories of evading deadly meteors.

Disk 3

"Living in space" - Animated theories of possible life on Mars or other planets. Mars expedition preparations.
"Stopping Armageddon" - Dinosaurs dieing "again" and again. Too much death the same animated poor animal.
"Another Earth" Animated theories about possible planet like Earth

Disk 4 - is my favorite

"Strangest things" - Animated presentation about our Solar system, Galaxies, Black wholes, Pulsars and Magnetars and so on.
"Edge of Space" - Possibility of private flights for regular persons.
"Cosmic phenomena" - Auroras, Gamma rays, Sprites, Elf's, Blue Jets. Last three I did not know about before watching this DVD. This is amazing lightnings which are not like regular lightnings we can see but much bigger in the Earth scale and invisible for regular eye reaction.

Good set.
I'd recommend it!
