Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780964458147 Format: Color, Live, NTSC ISBN: 0964458144 Label: Consumervision Manufacturer: Consumervision Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Consumervision Release Date: October 07, 1997 Running Time: 45 minutes Studio: Consumervision Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This video from the wise Big Adventure series gives kids a great overview of the space program using simple graphics, a soundtrack featuring kids' questions, and plenty of footage not seen on TV. The film follows one space crew through selection, training, and flight, providing some amazing facts about the mass of the space shuttle. Often the video goes on too long about specifics--reentry tiles, or the specific scientific experiments on board--but overall this kind of documentary has rarely been handled better. For ages 5 and up, but 3-year-old fans of space exploration will be happy to view the pictures. Parenting Magazine named it one of 1998's best videos for kids. The Big Adventure series scans a number of fascinating subjects (airplanes, aquariums, and even renovations) and is a series to seek out. --Doug Thomas Average Rating:
 Rating: - Shocked by toddler's interestI watched this with my 3 yr old & 2 yr old sons. It is technical enough to interest an adult, yet they were just glued to the TV the entire time!They would watch it all day if I allowed it. The video has multiple narrators, both children, males & females. I think that keeps their interest. It also bounces quickly from one topic to the next. It discusses space camp, astronaut training, experiments in space & much more. It seems a tad dated to the adult, but kids don't pick that up. It gives ...

She loves it and thinks "it's so cool." The fact that the narrator is a child also helped keep her attention. Best of all, the pilot and payload commander of the mission are women, which helps me to emphasize to my girl that she can do anything she wants -- even fly the space shuttle! Rating: - Blast Off on a Family AdventureTake an adventure with NASA's Shuttle program. The big draw for this DVD is the Big Space Shuttle and perhaps the more "famous" workers in the Space Program (i.e. the astronauts), BUT this adventure introduces youngsters to a wide variety of careers that make space flight possible. See behind the scenes and learn what it takes to get an orbiter and crew into space and safely back on land.

Rating: - Totally Awesome!!I searched for JUST the right dvd for my grandson's 6th B'day. He is so into space craft and outer space, the planets, etc. He knows each planet by heart and can tell you all about relevant info on any particular planet. This is why just the right video was so important. He was mesmerized as soon as it started, as well as his 4 year old brother and a little 3 year old visitor. What makes this video so entertaining is that it explains "everything" you need to know about, good for all ages, especially ... Read More |
