Section: Apollo“Finding Apollo”Ken Murphy / 11:48 pm July 17th, 2008  Reichhardt, Tony “When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions” (TV)Ken Murphy / 12:14 am June 7th, 2008  Discovery Channel Schedule: “In the Shadow of the Moon” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 4:43 am February 13th, 2008 Ron Howard presents Discovery Films Librarian’s Note: This is a powerful documentary, and one of the finest Apollo documentaries around. Mike Collins is clearly the star of the show, but so too is the ice and fire of the Saturn launch, or Buzz’s long pause on the way down to the surface, or Charlie Duke posing the question “If we were going to fake going to the Moon, why would we do it nine times?” Best seen on the biggest screen you can find with the loudest system you can get your hands on, because that Saturn thunders! “Apollo Advanced Lunar Exploration Planning”Ken Murphy / 12:50 am November 28th, 2007  Godwin, Robert (ed.) “Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 4:40 am November 7th, 2007 Tom Hanks Presents Librarian’s Note: About freakin’ time! A textbook example of what happens when you don’t throw any marketing muscle behind a flick, this is a phenomenal movie that practically no one saw. Sort of an Apollo documentary, partially an exploration of what ifs, a bit of sentimental pedagogy, and lots of gorgeous, gorgeous images, especially of the Hadley Rille visit. Oh, and Ms. Commander Lugo, that’s my job you’re talking about! “Soviet and Russian Lunar Exploration”Ken Murphy / 1:38 am April 4th, 2007 Harvey, Brian Spécial ApolloKen Murphy / 11:12 pm March 22nd, 2007  Espace Magazine - le Magazine de l’Exploration Spatiale Librarian’s Note: Another beautiful issue. 98 pages of luscious photos, well-presented pedagogical material, diagrams, charts, schemas, tables and more. I’ve got to make sure to get my renewal in soon. Launch MagazineKen Murphy / 4:47 am March 7th, 2007  Launch Magazine Librarian’s Note: This issue features the construction of the Semroc Saturn 1B model rocket, and features a lengthy interview with Walt Cunningham, who flew on the Apollo 7 mission that tested out the command module. That capsule is on display at the Frontiers of Flight museum here in Dallas, which will be one of the tours offered for the ISDC. “Surveyor Lunar Exploration Program: The NASA Mission Reports”Ken Murphy / 3:48 pm November 30th, 2006  Godwin, Robert (ed.) “The Moon Trees”Ken Murphy / 4:23 pm November 8th, 2006  Williams, Dr. David R. Librarian’s Note: Some folks at NASA are trying to track down about 400 seeds that were carried to and around the Moon by Astronaut Stuart Roosa aboard Apollo 14. I note the absence of Moon Trees in Texas, something I find hard to believe, though I’m sure they’re scattered around the world. If you have knowledge, please contact Dr. Williams at the address given at the weblink above. Descendents of the original trees can be purchased at the American Forests Historic Tree Nursery Store “Dark Side of the Moon: The Magnificent Madness of the American Lunar Quest”Ken Murphy / 4:12 pm October 14th, 2006 DeGroot, Gerard J. “Project Apollo Vol. 2: Exploring the Moon”Ken Murphy / 2:58 pm July 1st, 2006 Godwin, Robert “Apollo 11: The Eagle Has Landed” (DVD)Ken Murphy / 5:06 pm January 1st, 2005 Garofalo, Robert “First Man: The Life of Neil A.
