Editorial Review:

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

5 out of 5 stars great for little astronauts!.......2007-05-22

Very cool dvd for your little astronaut! Learn all about the space shuttle and the missions as well as how it is made, and even the training they go through. My 6 year old son loves it so much, he now knows all the words to the entire dvd...

4 out of 5 stars Not geared for the young children.......2007-04-12

I expect videos like this to be educational, that's why I buy them. But this gets a bit long in the tooth after about 20 minutes. I learned a lot about the shuttle program from this but my three year old looked like he was sitting in Charlie Brown's classroom. Maybe he'll enjoy it more when he's older.

5 out of 5 stars good movie.......2007-02-11

This was purchased for my 4 yr. old grandson. It was an awesome movie and held his attention. Not too long, but long enough for a 4 yr. old....

4 out of 5 stars Very detailed and interesting.......2007-01-10

My son is 4 years old and enjoys most of this video. He especially likes the lift off scenes and anything to do with the astronauts. The video is a little long for him, but the detail was absolutely fascinating for me.

5 out of 5 stars Great for your little astronaut.......2007-01-03

My son love this movie. He watches it over and over and is always quoting from it.
