What is the best DVD documentaries on Space? I have seen some of the BBC programs but are there any better?

Question

Cosmos is good but I am looking for something more modern that uses the latest CGI graphics and high resolution pictures/video.

Answer 1

Yep there's a dvd boxset Called "Cosmos" by the late American scientist Carl Sagan. 7 Discs which I can't recommend enough. If you're looking to check these docs out, try typing in carl sagan or cosmos into youtube.

Better series to buy than any UK doc I've ever seen, very interesting, well presented & awe inspiring.

Answer 2

The Tom Hanks Apollo 13 is pretty accurate.

Answer 3

"When We Left Earth" Is great! I also liked

"In The Shadow of the Moon" which is about the best concerning Apollo

Tom Hanks produced a wonderful series called "From The Earth To The Moon"

When we left earth is about the best I've seen and I've seen them all.
