I'm a big fan of supporting local small businesses. A couple of days ago, in a small print shop, I ran across a DVD: V-2 Rocket at White Sands Missile Range, NM for $24.00. It's complied and produced by Capstone Productions and distributed by elpasogold.com, both of whom are local companies. Run time is 65 minutes and my player says its at 720p. I rushed home and the kids and I popped it in:
The video is a collection of U.S. Government and German war footage plus new footage from 2002 and 2004 detailing the rebuild by the Kansas Kosmosphere of the V-2 held by the range museum. The rebuild was painted in the yellow and black markings of the partially successful #2 launch. There's footage of the successful #3 launch and there's also a segment on the "Buy Bonds" flight with the special atmosphere collection nose cone.
Lots of cool stuff for about the price of a book. Scale guys will love it.
Two thumbs up
