The film Man Conquers Space looks like a documentary made today, and is peppered with archival footage from the dawn of the space age during WWII, through to today, narrated by the people who were there - the engineers, the astronauts, the scientists, the visionaries, the politicians.</BLOCKQUOTE></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>spacecraft films</TD><TD>This site has been around for years...

The guy producing it appears to be talented, genuine, and enthusiastic. But every few months or so he slips into a very public depression, moaning about the latest setback he has suffered, or how poor he is, or whatever. This requires people to reassure him and tell him how valued he is and to rebuild his ego. It's a little silly. I hope he finishes it, but I think he has a lot of issues to deal with first.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Philip</TD><TD><A HREF="http://manconquersspace.com/MCSMovieClips.html" TARGET=_blank>Man Conquers Space Teaser III</A> (August 2007)Did this come out in cinemas yet?

His views would be discounted at the time, and history would have to wait until the 16th century for the geocentric view to be disproven once again by Copernicus.Fast forward to the middle of the 20th century, and we meet individuals whose lives are touched by voyaging off-world.</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><iframe width="400" height="225" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_-cIVEcEw8k?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

Someday this film will emerge. It could be breathtaking.

When I visited David in February, he showed a lot of footage to my wife and I. I cannot speak highly enough of the material I was privy to watch.
