Finally recieved my Gemini eidtion from Spacecraft films. I ordered
it early May. They did not send pre-ship notification as promised and
the envelope was a bit weathered but its here!!!! Well worth the
way,,savoring every frame. Two interesting juxtapositions in the
first disc. There's Gus practcing flying the paraglider "bedstead"
being pulled into the air by a biplane. (Would they use a biplane
today??) For that matter would they used that paraglider contrapiton
today? Time has moved on. Second shows Wally Schirra on some cool
beach in fall or winter practicing parachute water ingress drops by
tow. The film at one point shows him suit and all sitting on a huge
water bleached log in front of roaring beach fire with no one else in
frame (I Dream of Jeannie). Time has moved on. Great DVD,,now on to
the X15 and Apollo 17, hope they get things tightened up down at
Spacecraft films.
