New X-15, XB-70 Combo Available...

Our X-15 set has been pretty popular of late. I suspect this is due to the release of the new book by Michelle Evans. There's another set we have that isn't very high profile, the XB-70 set that we originally did under our Aircraft Films label. We're making that set available along with the X-15 set, for just $5 more. It's a great deal on two excellent sets.

Apollo 16 2-DVD set available again...

I've received a number of requests over the years to make the shorter 2-DVD sets available for some of the later missions. I've made two of them available again... The Apollo 16 2-DVD Set and the Apollo 15 2-DVD Set. While these sets are shorter than the full 6-DVD collections on these missions, they are still packed full of highlights, with the Apollo 16 set coming in at over 5 hours.

And for some video today, from our Astronauts set, here's John Young:

 

Apollo 10 Lunar Module Staging

During last week's anniversary of Apollo 10 I found myself in a discussion about the lunar module staging incident - essentially a discussion of just how violent and how "out of control" the lunar module actually became.

There's film of this incident from inside the spacecraft and I made this little piece to examine the differing viewpoints of Cernan and Stafford, with the idea of sharing. In my narration I make a mistake on the date - it was May 22, not March 22.

Conversion to wordpress, LM Poster Sale...

I'm working on a conversion of this blog to a wordpress site. I'm hoping to be able to transfer the entire contents, but if you see any disruptions, that's the reason.

I'm continuing the 10% off through Memorial Day weekend, and also, if you have a number of sets to add, I have put in a 15% off for orders over $250. And the free shipping holds for orders over $125.

I have a few LM Cockpit Posters left and have lowered the price to essentially cover shipping. They are listed at $1.00. If you'd like one, now's the time. When they are gone the poster will be converted into a cafepress poster, but I don't believe it will be the same full size poster. The ones we had printed are thicker, as well. The reason for this is simple - I'd like for the work to still be available, but it isn't one of our core pieces. 

For those in the states, have a great Memorial Day weekend and start of the summer. 

 

Development of the Lunar Module (1962-1969)

A few days ago I posted about a CGI model of an early lunar module concept, and recently took these models and freshened them up to create a new poster featuring the four major designs during the Grumman lunar module development. From their first 1962 proposal (which won the contract), through a version from 1963, 1965 and the final LM-5 configuration that landed upon the Moon in 1969.

I was interested in this piece myself, something of a color version of a photo that has been around for some time:

And the new version we've created:

If anyone is interested in one of these, they are available as a framed print and will be available as a poster soon, available here.
