As expected yesterday's post on our streaming service has generated a lot of questions. I'll answer some of the specifics on Friday when I make it live, but some of the questions need answering right away.
1) The three pending DVD products, two that we're shipping preorders and one that is in production (Apollo 11: To the Moon, The Cape, and Space Shuttle: First Flights) will NOT be available for streaming before all of the pre-orders are delivered. In fact they will NOT be available for streaming until all of the other products are online and all of the pre-orders are delivered. I may delay them for streaming for a longer term after that point, I don't know yet. This is to be fair to those who have ordered and waited for these particular sets for a long time.
2) In some cases our streaming products will contain a few extras that couldn't fit on the DVDs themselves. These titles will only be available through streaming.
3) The decision has not yet been made on whether future projects (Skylab, ASTP, Development of the LM) will be released on DVD or streaming only. This will depend upon the marketplace direction of video delivery in the future. However, there will be some products that when we are out of DVDs we will not be releasing again on DVD. Mainly these are collections of pre-packaged NASA reports.
4) Our streaming service is designed to work on iPads and other tablets.
More soon!

I'm very pleased to announce that beginning on Friday we will begin to offer our products via streaming as well as on DVD. We'll be rolling out products at the rate of one every two days, with several being available on Friday. We've been asked for this service for quite some time, and are pleased to be able to start offering it.
It is a subscription service, with a choice to buy individual videos, entire products, or a yearly subscription to the entire offering of video, at very reasonable pricing. And we'll continue to add to the offerings, including some items that couldn't be offered through a DVD, but can be through streaming. We will also be offering discounts on DVDs to those who use the streaming service.
I'll be posting on Friday the new address of the streaming service, and more info as it rolls out throughout the month of March. Thank you for your support of Spacecraft Films.

From our Project Mercury set, here's the footage taken inside Mercury Control during the flight of Friendship 7. The sound is from a pre-flight interview with flight director Chris Kraft.

On February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. His three-orbit flight lasted just under 5 hours. Glenn's flight and all of Project Mercury is covered extensively in our 6-DVD Mercury set. From the initial press conference selecting the Mercury astronauts, to footage of every test flight - including the beach abort, Little Joe, unmanned flights, to the most complete collection available of material on each of the manned flights. This sets is one of our best - new digital transfers and packed with over 24 hours of material.
Also available is our Friendship 7 iPad app, featuring an interactive mission control with the entire audio from the flight's onboard recorder and flight director loop, as well as all of the photographs taken during the mission. This app is an extraordinary way to experience the complete mission of Friendship 7, and also allows online access to the Friendship 7 footage from the Project Mercury DVD.
And from the Project Mercury DVD, a clip is always a good thing... the launch of John Glenn on Friendship 7. Fifty-one years ago next week.
