Nice! However:

1. No transformers. :(

2. Why are they cheering so early? Those 2 astronauts still have to get off the planet!

3. I hope NASA installs a better comms systems than this one! A 3G phone would be useful! :mrgreen:

I bought this show 2 years ago for the NJC astro club. I like it a lot and it is very well made and accurate.

The DVDs can be got for for around $40 if you know where to look.

Hi,

It's a show ma... it'll be super uninteresting if you really use realistic communication... the show will need a few more DVDs and most of the time was waiting for reply... the viewer will zzzzzz :P :P

Have a nice day.
