Discovery Channel When We Left Earth

Discovery Channel is joining in the Cyber Monday sales with discounts on selected items. Among them: the special collector's edition of  When We Left Earth, the NASA Missions.

 

Commemorate NASA's 50th anniversary with this stunning high-definition series chronicling the inside story of the space agency's epic endeavors. From John Glenn's Mercury mission to orbit the earth, to Neil Armstrong's first historic steps on the moon, to the unprecedented spacewalks required to repair the Hubble telescope, these epic stories are shown in stunning clarity and told by the astronauts and engineers who were there.

The missions, the people, and the triumphs of space exploration are revealed through exclusive interviews with celebrated astronauts including John Glenn, Buzz Aldrin and Charlie Duke, and newly-digitized, original mission footage from NASA's secret film vaults.

Features:

  • Six complete episodes
  • Four discs
  • Four hours of bonus features including digitally restored NASA film highlights, mission clips, and astronaut interviews
  • Bonus: 14-page collectible booklet featuring a timeline of major landmark NASA events, trivia and archival photos

 

Add $5.00 to that price, select the regular edition instead of the collector's edition (which has extra goodies)  and also get  the Ultimate Space DVD  set as  a package deal. Recommendation--go through the sale items and compare what's in each listing to scoop up the best DVD package sets for your gift list.

Other DVD sets, as well as various space/science-related toys and educational tools are on sale today, too. The funkiest: a U.S. Vanguard-style satellite lamp.
