“Cosmic”Ken Murphy / 1:07 am January 22nd, 2010 Boyce, Frank Cottrell Librarian’s Note: Fresh out this week here in the U.S., so far (p. 49) this one is a brisk and engaging read. Make that a delightful read, and one that the grownups should read after their kids are done, as it gets pretty much everything right. “Impact”Ken Murphy / 1:14 am January 17th, 2010 Preston, Douglas Librarian’s Note: Not what I expected, and certainly some speculative science fiction, with a couple of interesting twists at the end. “Miss Astronaut Barbie®” (doll)Ken Murphy / 12:58 am January 17th, 2010 Mattel Inc. Librarian’s Note: The third Barbie® added to the Lunar Library, this one is a reproduction of a 1965 model that arrived just in time for the Gemini program. From the package:
P.S. I’m still waiting for the Barbie® Dream™ ISS/Bigelow Module. “Moon” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 1:26 am January 13th, 2010 Jones, Duncan (Dir.) Librarian’s Note: Will this be the movie that demonstrates to the movie studios that there is in fact a market for smart science fiction? Whilst compiling the Lunar Library entry for this item it was ranked #10 (blu-ray) and #26 (DVD) at Amazon, and when I went to my local electronics bigbox to pick up a copy I got the next to last one. Personally, I like the way the movie examines the philosophical question of the industrialization of human beings via cloning. “Popular Science: The New Space Rush”Ken Murphy / 4:42 am January 12th, 2010  Popular Science “Moonshot India: Chandrayaan-1 - The mission complete”Ken Murphy / 2:33 am January 12th, 2010  Laxman, Srinivas “Sky and Telescope: Special Moon Issue”Ken Murphy / 2:21 am January 12th, 2010  Sky & Telescope “Inside Science: Moon and Tides”Ken Murphy / 2:13 am January 12th, 2010 Lang, Rob “Inside Science: Comets and Meteors”Ken Murphy / 2:11 am January 12th, 2010 Kelley, Jane “Inside Science: Space Station”Ken Murphy / 2:09 am January 12th, 2010 O’Brien, Bill “Pocket Rockets” (card game)Ken Murphy / 6:30 pm December 19th, 2009 “Pocket Rockets” “To The Moon: An Anthology of Lunar Poems”Ken Murphy / 4:46 pm December 19th, 2009 Duffy, Carol Ann (Ed.) Glow in the Dark Space Train Station (playset)Ken Murphy / 6:08 pm December 12th, 2009 KidKraft  Librarian’s Note: Wicked cool! Glow in the dark tracks and features, different centers of activity, three teams of astronauts (red, blue, yellow), nuclear materials to move around, massive robots from some machine intelligence beyond the stars, a cool celestial navigation table for the command center, trucks, a crane, a rocket, a saucer, and some aliens (if you’re into that sort of thing), all guaranteed to provide hours and hours of imaginative play. Kudos to KidKraft for this one. “Meteor” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 3:54 am December 12th, 2009 RHI Entertainment Librarian’s Note: The only real reason to watch this one is to stare in awe at just how much science they got so horribly wrong in one show. “BBC Focus Magazine: Destination Space”Ken Murphy / 1:59 am December 1st, 2009  BBC Focus Magazine “Kaguya on the Moon”Ken Murphy / 7:55 pm November 24th, 2009  JAXA Librarian’s Note: I first saw this one at the LEAG 2009 conference and knew I had to get a copy for the Lunar Library. As a book it’s a work of art in layout design, and the imagery is just stunning. Now if only I could read Japanese… “Faces of the Moon”Ken Murphy / 7:45 pm November 24th, 2009 Crelin, Bob. Illus. by Leslie Evans “The Moon: ‘Houston, Tranquility Base Here. The Eagle Has Landed’”Ken Murphy / 3:34 pm November 24th, 2009  Blühm, Andreas “Make: technology on your time Vol. 20″Ken Murphy / 12:39 am November 23rd, 2009 “Make: technology on your time Vol. 20″ “Moonshot” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 12:29 am November 23rd, 2009 Dangerous Films Ltd. “Astropuppies in Space: An Amazing Adventure for Young Astronauts” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 12:15 am November 23rd, 2009 Tully, Tim & Kathy Marty “2-in-1 Space Rocket” (playset)Ken Murphy / 3:18 am November 18th, 2009  “2-in-1 Space Rocket” “Mini-RF” (fact sheet)Ken Murphy / 2:29 am November 18th, 2009  “Mini-RF” “Mini-RF” (litho)Ken Murphy / 2:24 am November 18th, 2009  “Mini-RF” “The Wonder of it All” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 1:56 am November 18th, 2009 Roth, Jeffrey |
