Orphans 1:
The first film on the Orphans in Space DVD (see previous post) is an educational film entitled Meteorites. It dates all the way back to 1947 and is a product from the Soviet Union. This was Stalin's Russia. It's fascinating to me. Anytime I encounter a film about science from the 1950's or earlier, I assume that it will be full of horrendous scientific faults. You know, fear of breathing dangerous space-air or ships maneuvering between stars as if there's a good twenty feet or so between them. For the most part this film was quite accurate and the modeling/animation was even obviously created with actual physics in mind. It's only ten minutes and worth a look.
