It's about 20 minutes long, so you might want to do this during a lunch break or something, but the video is stunning!

Wow

good find!

I think Jay summed it up, as best as anyone can... "Wow!"

An amazing feat to have done something that was so technoligicaly challenging back then, with less computing power than what a pocket pc or even cell phone has today.

 

[Treetop]

Yeah, that must have been a huge movie studio hangar to get all that done

I am really impressed at the quality and color balance of the video!

A little off topic from this thread, but still related:
If you guys have not seen them yet, check out the HIGH DEFINITION VIDEOS at Microsofts site. You need a pretty updated computer to be able to view them, especially the 1080p versions. If you pause the movie's, even in fullscreen mode, the freeze frame is just as clear as any high-res picture that you have seen on your monitor. Pretty impressive stuff....

no problems here either, just tested it with Firefox.

Yea, my bad, stupid MC10

 

[electron]

That's something I ran into as well when I had MC10 installed. What a pain that was .

 

[BraveSirRobbin]

Yea, you even dis-associate the file types and it still happens. Stupid MC10, contaminates your entire system, just like Norton Antivirus, ... but that's another story

That is one powerful and moving film. Thanks for the link.

btw, NasaTV is running 24/7, you can watch it by going to yahoo.com, the link is on the front page. The feeds are incredible, I just watched the hatch opening live, now they are showing the robotic arm (first task is to reconfigure the shuttle robotic arm), so you can see Earth rotating in the background.
