Here's something amazing I've been keeping my eye on for quite a while (it's not finished yet)...



http://manconquersspace.com/

It's a "documentary from an alternate universe" where we followed the path laid out by Wernher von Braun & Chesley Bonestell in that classic Collier's magazine article from the 50s!

Been in progress for about 5 years and, being pretty much a one-man operation, was almost lost when the guy suffered a hard drive crash a coupla years back!

Be sure to check out the Movie Clips (especially the Teaser and Sample Cinema Sequence!)...

You can download a sample of the soundtrack here...

Did you watch the Teaser?

It's amazing how he was able to take archived footage from the Apollo program and replace the Saturn V rocket with the Bonestell version, complete with dust & scratches!

Out of the 3 clips in your first post, I could only see the water droplet one.

Then I watched the link from the last post, way too cool!

OK, I've been following MCS for quite a while now. Does anyone have ANY idea when this is going to be released? I don't care whether it's theater or DVD.

Thanks!

Erks, just found out about this "Man Conquers Space" thing...

I recently had the rough idea for a TV series set in a somewhat similar scenario to this, but it would be a drama series rather than a "mockumentary".
