We've been busy shipping today, so I haven't changed the special pricing yet on Developing Apollo, Gemini Flight Controller Orientation, Liftoff and Mission to the Moon. I'll leave the special pricing through tonight, so if you'd like to take advantage of the offer, you still have a few hours left.
Also, I'd like to note the passing of "super retro" John Llewellyn, he named the Trench the Trench in mission control and was truly a steely-eyed missile man. RIP.

Seems that Skylab is by far the preferred next project. It is a big one, but has already largely been researched. But it is a lot of film to transfer and as a 6 disc project will take some time.
Another subject - packaging. There are now a couple of different options on cases, there are the "clip hub" type cases which we are using now, and there are new "stack packs" which essentially stack multiple discs on one hub. As I see it, this has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that during shipping, a disc can't slip a hub and bounce around. The disadvantage is that to get to disc 3 or disc 6, you have to take all of the discs off of the hub. I don't get so many reports of loose discs to warrant the change, but wanted to put it out there.
Also, would there be any interest in having, say, a one-piece large case of some sort created for the complete collection, or perhaps all of Apollo? Just an idea I've played with for several years - creating an "all Apollo" set with 1-17, in a single, sort of premium package.

Since we got a good check disc on the last Cape disc, and we're done with the Apollo 11: To the Moon masters, we're now working at finishing up the Space Shuttle: First Flights set. We're also about to get the pre-orders for the third space shuttle set shipped and start work on flights 11-20.
I think we may have about a month to go in production on Space Shuttle: First Flights, which means we need to start thinking about researching what comes next. There are two obvious choices: Skylab and ASTP. If you have a choice (noting that Skylab is a much bigger and longer job), would you want ASTP next or Skylab?
Also, concerning Blu-ray... it seems to me as though mobility seems to have trumped resolution in the video world... so I'm not sure that the economics exist to convert our existing SD products to Blu-ray. Instead you'll see us continue to develop apps and find ways to make our material available through streaming means as well as on DVD. Also, the Blu-ray licensing fees are rather steep and extensive (whereas DVD had none of the same licensing fees). These fees don't help the economics of a straight Blu-ray product conversion. The material we had transferred in HD for future Blu-ray release will, however, be made available through some other method, either streaming or disc-based. I haven't completely ruled out any other Blu-ray releases, but I don't think you'll see a straight product-for-product conversion the way I thought might be nice originally.
I've received some questions about a couple of products we formerly listed as "future" products. I removed them as we needed to get through The Cape and Apollo 11 (and Space Shuttle: First Flights) first. The Lunar Module Development DVD was of particular interest. We are still doing this set, it has been researched, but we don't have all of the footage in yet. Hopefully we'll have it out this year, but more likely into next year. We do intend to complete it and release it.
We're also almost finished with the next app, which is the Moonwalk on Apollo 11, which is our first app designed for the iPad3 resolution. We will be doing the other lunar missions as well. After that I'm thinking of creating a game-like app... something similar to the old "Race to the Moon," only the game wouldn't end with developing flight to the Moon, but would go on to the planets, with perhaps the end game being a launch to the nearest star. Might be interesting and fun.
Thanks for all the support...

I received a number of emails this morning from customers who didn't receive the email about the free shipping weekend until getting to work this morning, so I've extended it through today only. Use the discount code "FREE" for orders inside the US, and "INTERNATIONAL" for orders outside the US. The offer ends tonight, and won't be extended further.
