Mars - The Red Planet. The Nasa Archives
Witness the NASA expedition of Viking 1 and Viking 2 to the red planet known as Mars. As well as exploration, their mission is to search for life, in the form of micro-organisms. This is to be Americas first hands-on study of the planet, and we hear top NASA scientists give their views on the possibility of life on other worlds. Since the earliest of times, man has been interested in the heavens. Mars was named after the God of War, because the red hue was reminiscent of blood. Early astronomers believed that the Martian surface was similar to that of Earth, and as such could indeed be habitable. This programme includes previously unseen footage of robot exploration, bringing us closer to the secrets of this mysterious planet, and perhaps the universe itself.

Quest for Contact. The NASA Archives
How, why, whether and when to search for life beyond Earth has been debated for centuries. In our own solar system we have found no signs of advanced life, though planets like Mars and the large moon of Titan may have provided suitable environments for life in the past. It is an enormous task to search the skies for intelligent life, looking for a golden needle in a huge cosmic haystack. S.E.T.I. (the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) has taken up this quest. A belief that there are other intelligent races out there in the depths of space, and that one day we will make contact with them.

Apollo 11 - 14. The Eagle has Landed
After thousands of years looking at the moon, man, in the person of Neil Armstrong, finally laid foot on the lunar surface. This film follows the exploration of the moon by Apollo 11, 12 and 14 and shows live footage of the Apollo 13 mission in which, following an oxygen tank explosion, the 3 man crew were forced to rely on the lunar modules oxygen reserve to see them back to Earth. On a lighter note, Shephard became the first man to drive a golf ball on the moon.

 Colonel Joe W Kittinger
Excelsior III - the Long, Lonely Leap by Stuart Brown
The most incredible 614mph freefall from the edge of space, celebrated
in this superb limited edition print signed by the skydiving legend
himself, Colonel Joe W Kittinger.
Kittinger performed three extreme altitude jumps during August 1960 as
part of the USAF research project 'Excelsior' - a precursor to the US
space race designed to test human survivability. Excelsior III was the
climax of the operation. Leaping from the gondola of a 200ft diameter
helium balloon, Kittinger spent four minutes, thirty six seconds in
freefall. Passing through 90,000ft, his speed reached an incredible 614mph
(almost the speed of sound in the thin freezing air of the upper
atmosphere) before his multi-stage parachute slowed descent - opening the
'main' at 18,000ft. This historic jump set an altitude record that still
stands at the time of writing.
Signed by Colonel Joe W Kittinger.
