The full magazines are definitely the way to go. What I like best about them is the way the convey the "space tourist" feel. When I look at the Apollo 11 archive and click through the first post-landing roll, I get the feel that these two guys were like super-excited kids on safari or something--"look at that! look over there! oooh, there's the Earth! Cool!" It's a very different feeling compared to the polished, professional test-pilot publicity that the space program sold to the public. I like the excited tourist perspective a lot better. Must have been one heck of a ride.... --Mark -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
