The DVDs on the Space Shuttle are true to what this vehicle did for 30 years and 135 space shuttle missions to help build the International Space Station and to make history that man could and still can go to the "final frontier" and beyond. The description on the back of this container that holds the DVD discs has 2 flaws in it. It talks about the Challenger making history and that it was 16 minutes away from its landing destination on Earth on February 1st 2003. CORRECTION: Both of those indications of the Challenger are false and not true -- they both are for Columbia, the first space shuttle that went up into orbit above the Earth and that it did break up over the state of Texas on February 1, 2003. FYI: Challenger blew up on January 28, 1986, NOT February 1, 2003 -- February 1, 2003: this date was for Columbia blowing up. Both incidents had 7 crew members each on it when they both blew up. Whoever created the description on the back of the DVD container should check their facts and hopefully will make a correction on the labels. For those of you who are Space Shuttle officianados (sp?), check the label and you will see the 2 mistakes on it that are referring to the Challenger, NOT to Columbia. Other than that, since the Space Shuttle program has ended on July 21, 2011, it has not ended an era of space exploration -- for manned space missions will start in 2014-2015 with missions to Mars and beyond. The Space Shuttle has paved the way for future explorations of the "Final Frontier" and beyond, and it has made those of us who have followed the Space Shuttle since April 12 1981 when it went up into space for the first time, to see that we ALL can dream big and to reach for the stars and beyond.Read full review
