GIVEAWAY: Sputnik Mania!

12/23/2008 Posted by Admin


Week in Rewind is pleased to offer a giveaway of
Sputnik Mania!

Own it on DVD January 27, 2009!

Thanks to our friends at A&E Home Video
for this opportunity!

Product description:

On October 4, 1957, the USSR announced to an unsuspecting world that it had launched the first man-made object ever to successfully orbit the earth. Americans were stunned, then terrified. What had happened to our vaunted academic and technological superiority? Were the Soviets going to overtake us? Worst of all, could their satellites be used as weapons of mass destruction?

The 1950s had been a heady time for Americans. Ours was the most powerful nation on earth, the leader of the free world. We were the best, the richest, the smartest – and we knew it down to our very core. Then came Sputnik. SPUTNIK MANIA , from HISTORY™, vividly recalls the impact the satellite had on the American psyche, and how the shock catapulted the nation from complacency into action. Within the year, NASA was born, states instituted massive educational reforms, and a new breed of researchers – rocket scientists – focused on a single critical goal: winning the Space Race.

Narrated by Liev Schreiber, and based on Paul Dickson's best-seller "Sputnik: The Shock of the Century", this 2008 theatrical documentary fascinating interviews include Sergei Khruschev, Susan Eisenhower, NASA Ames Research Center Director G. Scott Hubbard and more!

Extras: Over 140 Minutes of Never-Before-Seen Footage: "Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow"; "American Anti Communist"; "Communist Society"; "Crazy Russian Space Film"; "Laica"; "Missiles, Missiles, Missiles."
We are giving away THREE copies, and winning is easy.

The contest will end on March 10, 2009.

To double your chances of winning, leave a comment on this post. You can do so below in the "Comment" or "Post a comment" sections.

Once that is done, sign up for this contest by clicking here and following all of the directions carefully.

Good luck!
