- Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2016This video is excellent. When I first told my husband about it, who was an engineer/scientist working in astronomy at CALTECH/JPL for his entire career, he thought it would be a waste of money but I figured there wasn't much to lose. Well, he was impressed. I'm so thrilled I went ahead and bought it.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018This package includes four Smithsonian documentaries. Two of these, both running about 90 minutes, are outstanding. One of these deals with the Concorde. A joint venture between France and England, and designed to carry passengers at supersonic speeds, this airplane was a technical and engineering marvel, but a commercial failure. The second deals with the space shuttle. It recognizes the scientific triumphs, which included building the international space station and launching the Hubble telescope, while also noting two disasters, the losses of Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. The other two are essentially filler. One is a tedious recapitulation of the Smithsonian’s air and space artifacts. The other is a somewhat incoherent account of America’s first ten years in space, which brings together footage from diverse sources but does not integrate them into a useful narrative. These could have been omitted.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2014I bought this as a christmas gift and it was such a huge delight I think I'll buy the rest of the serious. If you are an ass to lover or just a space not like us this will be the perfect gift!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018The disc has two excelelent, very educational movies, one about Space shuttle program and one about Concord superjet. I really enjoyed watching them a couple of times myself and in our Unversity aerospace students' class. Other movies on the discs are boring and have almost zero value.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2018a great DVD to see the Smithsonian exhibits before you go or a review to share with relatives.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2014I really love this cd. It is a great look at the space program. Would recommend to others. Great addition to a collection of NASA items. Great viewing.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2017My husband likes it, but it wasn't exactly what we expected
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2013Excellent video for anyone interested in planes and space. Great for kids and what a great alternative to the other stuff on TV. My son loves the smithsonian dvds.
