Three brave men gave their lives on Pad 34... Today we remember Gus, and Ed and Roger. We shall not forget your sacrifice.
On a more utilitarian note, many who have emailed this week have learned that I had something of a rather nasty cold earlier this week. Back in full force now and we're doing a good deal of shipping today and over the weekend, as well as getting back to those mid-week emails. Thank you for your patience.

Ten years ago, almost exactly, the idea for Spacecraft Films was developed into a small business. The idea was simple - I had grown up with a deep interest in manned space exploration, and wanted the TV transmissions and audio-visual documentation of those days to view again. Plus, I had always been annoyed - even as a child - at commentators either not being accurate or talking over mission events I wanted to hear and see. So after a 20+ career in broadcast marketing and management, Spacecraft Films was born.
From the start I knew it was a small, niche, market - and it is. But I thought there were enough others with my same interest that would like this material at the highest possible quality. As you know, our sets aren't for those with just a passing interest or those looking for just a brief overview. They are specific and comprehensive and sometimes contain material others would find, well, boring. After all, our Saturn sets actually contain some cameras inside propellant tanks as they are drained during a mission. But for those of us who share this deep interest, this material is splendid.
Thank you for your support over the last ten years. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to delve into the archive and make material widely available that might never have seen the light of day. Every set that you acquire allows us to do a little more and and improve our efforts to collect and present current and new products that uniquely share our mutual interest in the greatest explorations ever.
We are also very proud that the result of our work is in public and school and university libraries throughout the world, and we routinely receive requests and grant permission for our products to be used in public museum displays and educational courses. We've even been able to serve NASA through our collections and knowledge of the archive - by providing or pointing to past engineering footage that is useful to current projects.
If you like our sets, please support us with your purchase during this day. You'll receive one of the major benefits of small business - nearly all of your purchase goes right back into making unique products that wouldn't be available any other way. Thank you.

On our site for our products we do have previews for most of the sets, but everytime I look at the statistics I see that few people ever go take a look at them. I don't think they are prominent enough. At any rate, I thought I'd pass along a few of my favorites... this one is from the 2-DVD Liftoff set.
