The Blue Sky Below My Feet series was developed by National 4-H
Council in the mid-1980s. There are 3 video tapes on: forces, spacesuits,
and space
food. These tapes are approximately 30 minutes long.
The tapes may be shown in any order and may be obtained on loan through
the AV catalog or purchased through AV Services (814-865-3407) for $49.20
(3 programs on three video tapes).
The program shows youth, actual space scenes, models, and cartoon characters.
The following is a synopsis of each tape and their AV loan numbers.
