Cheap Nova: Space Explorers (3pc) (Video) Price

Anyone with even a passing interest in space will be captivated by this excellent series. The Space Explorers set is a superbly organized collection of two one-hour Nova episodes ("Rescue Mission in Space" and "Terror in Space") and a special two-hour presentation ("To the Moon"). There is no need to watch these in a particular order, but "To the Moon" is the perfect dessert after digesting the other two. "Terror in Space" takes you aboard the rapidly aging Mir Space Station during its most tense moments. "Rescue Mission in Space" details the challenging and stressful task of repairing the brand-new Hubble space telescope. These two videos are well produced and fascinating to watch, as they illustrate the capabilities and intricacies of modern space flight. Then, take a trip back in time with one of the most famous space goals in history, to land "a man on the moon and [return] him safely to Earth." "To the Moon" explores the hard work, the conflict, and the dedication it took to make sure that whomever was sent to the moon would not only make it there, but also make it back. Nova weaves the story together, providing details and footage rarely seen or heard before, and illustrates the struggle expertly with the voices of the astronauts and scientists who worked on the Apollo and Gemini missions. From the first space walk to the last moon walk, from the terrifying fire aboard Mir to the delicate and intricate repair to the Hubble, this set encompasses some of the greatest moments in the history of space exploration. --Amanda Powter
