Was an amazing picture from HDnet. very nicely done and good to see the space missions back on track for the time being.

Did Directv Give us a treat and show the launch at full bitrate? and 1920x1080?

or did it just have hella good compression

I think I just sold at least 5 family members on *needing HD. Looks like I will be assisting on some new FPTV and multi-channel audio installs. SWEET!


* LOL - like they shouldn't have already been in that state of mind.

www.heavens-above.com If you want to get a personal look at the space station and shuttle check out the above site. It will have a brief fly over tomorrow night late before it docks but it is awesome to see the two of them crossing the sky at the same time. Depending on your location will determine how bright they will be.
