This video from the wise Big Adventure series gives kids a great overview of the space program using simple graphics, a soundtrack featuring kids' questions, and plenty of footage not seen on TV. The film follows one space crew through selection, training, and flight, providing some amazing facts about the mass of the space shuttle. Often the video goes on too long about specifics--reentry tiles, or the specific scientific experiments on board--but overall this kind of documentary has rarely been handled better. For ages 5 and up, but 3-year-old fans of space exploration will be happy to view the pictures. Parenting Magazine named it one of 1998's best videos for kids. The Big Adventure series scans a number of fascinating subjects (airplanes, aquariums, and even renovations) and is a series to seek out. --Doug Thomas

Fantastic DVD! July 17, 2009
N. Terry (Augusta GA)
My son got this DVD for his 5th birthday and the whole family loves it! It is extremely kid friendly, but still interesting enough that his dad and I learned a lot! Wonderful educational and fun video -- my 7 and 3 year olds love it too. Great buy -- you won't regret it!

My son LOVES this video and has watched it many times since the holidays. It's educational in an entertaining way but it's not for very small kids. The 4 year old age group is great. good purchase.
Engaging for the whole family November 26, 2008
Jonathan F. Remley (Boston, MA)
This DVD is loved by our 2.5yr old, 10 month old son, and their 36 year old father. It has engaging video, graphics, and music. It also has an appropriate and thoughtful tribute to the Columbia and her crew.
Shocked by toddler's interest November 8, 2008
Mom2BE (Mckinney TX)
I watched this with my 3 yr old & 2 yr old sons. It is technical enough to interest an adult, yet they were just glued to the TV the entire time!They would watch it all day if I allowed it.
The video has multiple narrators, both children, males & females. I think that keeps their interest. It also bounces quickly from one topic to the next. It discusses space camp, astronaut training, experiments in space & much more. It seems a tad dated to the adult, but kids don't pick that up. It gives all kinds of facts that you will assume are rolling right over your toddler's head until he looks up into the night sky & states "maybe we can see the shuttle...it's 180 miles up from the ground" Then they will put their toy logs together & "drop their booster rockets when the fuel is used up" & send their toy boats to save them from the ocean depths. Amazing.
Highly recommend. I only wish there were more quality children's videos like this available.
Great for girls interested in space October 26, 2008

I bought "The Big Space Shuttle" for my 5-year-old girl who is completely fascinated by astronauts, rockets and space travel. She loves it and thinks "it's so cool." The fact that the narrator is a child also helped keep her attention. Best of all, the pilot and payload commander of the mission are women, which helps me to emphasize to my girl that she can do anything she wants -- even fly the space shuttle!
