NASA Releases Video Tour of the ISS

Posted by Soulskill on from the eye-in-the-sky dept.

Malvineous writes "Expedition 18 Commander Mike Fincke has recently filmed a high-definition 35-minute video tour aboard the International Space Station. For those who missed the HD broadcast on NASA TV, the video is available on YouTube. Due to YouTube length limits, the tour is split into four separate videos. Here are Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4."

    I wish NASA would do stuff like this more often. I know that they're tasked with doing important scientific work, but I'd love to see more videos of things like "how the Internet works on ISS" and things of that nature, as I think it would help the non-scientific public get behind this type of work.

    Thanks for this - great stuff.

    Why does everything have to be flashy??

    Were you expecting some of the latest hollywood explosions to go off?

    It's a research lab not a movie studio set, so what if it *looks* slightly boring. It is anything but.

  4. wide lens by f1vlad · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I enjoyed it, very cool. I only wish they used wide/fisheye lens (if it's possible) so we could see wider perspective.

  5. This is great educational outreach material by ThePeices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is great outreach material for the general public, something that most people would actually find interesting if it was used by the media. If they haven't already, this stuff should be in the public domain, perfect for Broadcasters and Doco people.

    Bring it on, I say...
