Is that astronaut Love? He has a PhD in something like astronomy which
makes me shy away from his path.

No, it was Pete Siebold of SpaceShipOne fame.

I want to thank everyone for helping me!

I've started studying the ASA Private Pilot DVD. The DVD appears to be
very straight forward. What should be my expectations. What is the
difference between getting the flying license and the DVD. In other
words, how much can I expect to get out of the DVDs. I am, currently,
planning on studying (almost memorizing) all my DVDs and then going
to the school. What do you think I should do?

I am waiting for the Kings DVDs to get to me. I'll start studying them
once I receive them.

Do you think I should first learn all of the ASA DVD then the Kings
DVD, or mix the DVDs up in some way.

Should I purchase the Gleim DVD. How much more will I learn with it?

Someone at ProFlight said if I want to save money to wait till good
weather (spring or summer) before flying. What do you think. Will it
save me money and also mean a long delay in getting the license.

As a student what are my limitations on when I can fly? How clear does
the weather have to be, and how do I know when I have the correct
weather?

I am leaning towards the Acuwings flying school because they offer 1
free hour (both for plane and instructor tagging along) each time I
purchase 10 hours.

That stuff I posted about an astronaut was only holiday cheer on my
part because I was going to the Museum of Flight (http://
www.museumofflight.org/).

Thank you,
