Nova: Apollo 13 - Journey to the Moon, Mars and Back (3 Disc Set)

    Features:

    Apollo 13: To the Edge and Back tells the gripping, true story of the catastrophic flight of the Apollo 13 and the heroic struggle to bring the astronauts back alive. With first-hand accounts from the pilots, their families, and the people of mission control, it documents a thrilling struggle against time and all odds and serves as a reminder that, in the words of James Lovell, "We do not realize what we have on Earth until we leave it." To the Moon: The mission was impossible. The odds were astronomical. The results were spectacular.

    NOVA shares the fascinating inside story behind "one giant leap for mankind." This expanded two-hour special shares vivid recollections of Apollo astronauts Gene Cernan and Frank Borman, and introduces you to legendary Flight Director Gene Kranz and other unsung heroes. Rare interviews and amazing footage capture America's full-thrust effort to be the first to the moon.

    MARS Dead or Alive: Go inside NASA’s risky field trip to the red planet in this tense and dramatic behind-the-scenes chronicle of the $820 million Mars Exploration Rover (MER) project. Beginning a year before launch, NOVA's cameras follow MER scientists and engineers through a gauntlet of potentially fatal problems. Then, seven months later, experience the final nail-biting minutes of the journey, as Spirit successfully lands on Mars and begins sending back its first spectacular images of the Martian landscape.
