Sourcing third party video footage

[Funky Monk]

I'm wanting to start making my own videos. One project I would like to do is of images from the natural world. One section would include images from outer space. As I don't have access to a space rocket I guess I will need to source these images from somewhere else . How do I go about doing this? I'm on a low budget so I need a cost effective solution.

You can grab someone else footage. Or a Couple of months ago I was on a library and saw a couple of books on how to soot and do FX on a budget. It was a real eye opener. I bougt a copy of ene of the books its call "Make your own Hollywood Movies" and there were others just for FX.
Probably you can find them on amazon.com or your local book store.

Cheers. I guess that I do mean sourcing others' stuff for outer space material as I can't go and get it myself! But how do I do this? I just don't know where to go looking for it.

I could be wrong here, as IANAL, but IIRC NASA's released material is Public Domain.

Somebody was selling high quality NASA samples on DV format tapes. I'll try to find the link.
