Two weeks ago we
reported that Image Entertainment, The Discovery Channel and NASA were preparing a home video release of
When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions, coming out on
September 30th. At the time we had all the details, as well as front cover art, for both the

What we've learned this morning, though, is that the DVD release will be available in a "Limited Edition Collectible Metal Package," seen below.
