I know I would certainly enjoy having photo DVDs of the development of launch vehicles (e.g. Saturn) and spacecraft (e.g Mercury, Gemini, Apollo). So I second the nomination for such a set (or series)... though I am also anxious for a completion of the Mercury and Gemini sets too.Additionally, a set surrounding the Cape in general would be great... featuring launch pads, firing rooms, support facilities, etc. As the historic pads at the Cape continue to rapidly deteriorate (or be destroyed), photographs are often all that remains of certain sites. |

As of now, I am full time on the scanner working on Gemini 5. This is coming along nicely and hope to have it all wrapped up by the end of the month.The three Cape/KSC discs are also coming along. There is just an abundance of images to work with. I am touching on old Cape pads and Industrial Area, KSC Industrial Area, Complex 39, all press sites, visits of VIP's, Presidential visits, blockhouses, water and barge activities, employee activities, and wildlife to name a few. There is a good chance I will be heading back to the Cape area in April, and I am hoping for some additional images of the lesser known early pads. Down the road there will be individual development discs for Mercury thru Shuttle. These will also include some, if not all of the early un-manned missions for each program. The exception will be Apollo, here there will be a separate disc that will group together Apollo 4, 5 and 6. At some point consideration will be given to separate compilations on particular launch vehicles and spacecraft. I would personally like to get all of the individual missions archived first. |

Well Mark, the same is true for the assembly and testing of unmanned spaceraft such as the Mariner series, Viking landers, Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2...These CDs are a great initiative and we all appreciate the long hours of work that went in each of them! |

Just a quick message to announce that the Gemini 6 image disc is finished. This disc is dedicated to the original Gemini 6/Agena rendezvous mission that astronauts Schirra and Stafford had planned for October 25, 1965. The flight did not go off as originally scheduled: the Agena ended up in the ocean and Gemini 6 soon became the other half of the historic rendezvous mission with Gemini 7.This disc contains a great selection of 650 images that show the preparation and scrub of the original Gemini 6. The Gemini 6A mission will soon be covered on a disc combined with Gemini 7. There was so much material in the files for the original planned Gemini 6 mission that we felt it deserved a disc of its own.

Just out of interest how long would it take for one of these discs to be delivered to the UK? |

They arrive pretty quick, top service from JL as always.  It is a pretty significant investment if you buy all of the discs as I have, but you will not ever be disappointed with the material on offer. Superb quality and variety abound in all the discs. |
