jeriendhalMan Conquers Space http://users.bigpond.net.au/surfacesrendered/MCSEnter.html is a website featuring a true labor of love, an alternate history documentary of America's manned space program, as if it had followed the outline of Werner von Braun's famous series of articles in Collier's Magazine back in the 1950's. It's entirely fan made, with home-made space suits and sets, and marvelous CGI animation that looks just like an 8mm film you would have watched in science class back in elementary school. Click on the site and check out the amazing teaser trailer.
