Stranded 206,000 miles from Earth in a crippled spacecraft, astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert fight a desperate battle to survive. Meanwhile, at Mission Control, astronaut Ken Mattingly, flight director Gene Kranz and a heroic ground crew race against time--and the odds--to bring them home.First Man: Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for the riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong's perspective, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost--on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself--of one of the most dangerous missions in history.The Right Stuff: Winner of four Academy Awards, Philip Kaufman's spectacular film of Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff chronicles the story of the pioneering Mercury astronauts: men named Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra, Cooper and Slayton, the first Americans to ride a primitive spacecraft solo into a new frontier. Preceding them in the history books was the legendary Chuck Yeager, who, far removed from the media spotlight that would focus on the "spacemen" a decade later, became the first man to break the sound barrier piloting the fabled X-1.Apollo 13: MPAA rated PGFirst Man: MPAA rated PG-13The Right Stuff: MPAA rated PGDVD ; region 1, NTSC ; Dolby Digital 5.1 ; Dolby Digital 2.0 ; DVS 2.0 ; surround sound ; widescreen (2.35:1) ; widescreen ( 2.39:1).

Apollo pilot : the memoir of astronaut Donn Eisele / by Eisele, Donn,1930-1987,author.; French, Francis,author of introduction, etc.editor.; Eisele Black, Susie,author.; Teitel, Amy Shira,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 136-138) and index.Foreword by Francis French -- Launch morning -- Beginnings -- Astronaut selection -- Going back to Houston -- After the fire -- Liftoff -- Rendezvous -- The grandeur of earth -- Return to earth -- Splashdown -- Home -- After the flight -- Afterword by Susie Eisele Black -- Historical overview by Amy Shira Teitel.In October 1968 Donn Eisele flew with fellow astronauts Walt Cunningham and Wally Schirra into Earth orbit in Apollo 7 . The first manned mission in the Apollo program and the first manned flight after a fire during a launch pad test killed three astronauts in early 1967, Apollo 7 helped restart NASA's manned-spaceflight program. Known to many as a goofy, lighthearted prankster, Eisele worked his way from the U.S. Naval Academy to test pilot school and then into the select ranks of America's prestigious astronaut corps. He was originally on the crew of Apollo 1 before being replaced due to injury. After that crew died in a horrific fire, Eisele was on the crew selected to return Americans to space. Despite the success of Apollo 7 , Eisele never flew in space again, as divorce and a testy crew commander led to the three astronauts being labeled as troublemakers. Unbeknownst to everyone, after his retirement as a technical assistant for manned spaceflight at NASA's Langley Research Center in 1972, Eisele wrote in detail about his years in the air force and his time in the Apollo program. Long after his death, Francis French discovered Eisele's unpublished memoir, and Susie Eisele Black (Donn's widow) allowed French access to her late husband's NASA files and personal effects. Readers can now experience an Apollo story they assumed would never be written as well as the story behind its discovery.
