Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by schnappsicle: [B]I too ordered the Apollo 11: To The Moon set when it was first offered for presale. More than a year later, I received the following email on 3-17-2008: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]This note is being sent to a select few of our customers who have ordered the Apollo 11: To The Moon set. As you know, this set has been in production for some time, and while it is now complete, we are holding it for release pending the possibility of being able to use video-derived EVA footage rather than kinescope derived footage. This will be resolved soon, but I can't say specifically when. Therefore I am asking you to provide feedback on an offer I am considering to all of our Apollo 11: To the Moon customers. Very soon we will be releasing (this has not been announced) a bluray disc containing the Apollo 16mm on boards in high definition. This first disc will cover Apollo 4 through Apollo 11. There is a possibility it will contain all of the Apollo 16mm on boards, depending upon size limitations. The pricing for this disc will be $50-$60, considerably more than the cost of the Apollo 11: To The Moon set, and I considering offering this disc to all of the Apollo 11: To The Moon customers as a substitute since it has been such a long wait. This note is for the purposes of seeing how many of you would be interested in such a disc.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> I replied that I would wait for the new Apollo 11 set. Like all of you, I waited and waited. A year or so ago, I received an enhanced version of the moonwalk. A few months after that, I received a blue ray copy of "Live from the Moon," which is interesting, but not enough for me to watch more than once. I was under the impression that those two were supposed to make up for the unsent DVD set. I still want the original Apollo 11 set that I ordered. I get frustrated watching the old Apollo 11 set, which gave us entire reels of film as shot, not in the linear presentation that I would have liked. I still can't figure out why they don't break out the 16mm films in chronological order. I will probably wait for the new Apollo 11 set to be released before I commit to buying it again. Once I do, my old Apollo 11 set is going to a needy cause, along with the enhanced version of the Apollo 11 EVA. Personally, I have nothing bad to say about Spacecraft Films or Mark, who I believe has done an amazing job putting together all the films and making them available to space geeks such as myself.[/B][/QUOTE]
