Cool! Too bad that I missed it. I don't have HD on this TV so I don't get NASA TV anymore.

They're on the web too in HD ... check the URL on the pic, that's a screenshot from KNOS. NASA on DirecTV isn't terribly good in HD.

It's not even in HD, it's just that if you don't have an HD receiver you don't get the channel.

I was on it earlier an it was really slow so I figured that tonight would be worse. But if you were able to see it then I missed out. I forgot about it really.

Heh. Yeah, had my butt parked on it since 0014 since they said 0131 was when it was going to happen. Settled on the internet feed rather than NASA-TV since that was much better. Made my night it did, can't wait for WillD to weigh in on it.

Impeach Obama, I guess. :)

Yep ... that's why I was disappointed with the picture ... we have the necessary receiver, just can't stand 4:3 video anymore. :)

Now THAT could be! Now that the signal's down, just noticed that you can click on the blue bar at the bottom of the video window there and it'll DVR back any portion of the whole thing for anyone who missed it.

Damned government screwing up and making things work. :)

It's cool, the folks over in "Exploration Systems" at Marshall Spaceflight Center have got that covered. They're spending something like 3 times Curiousity's total budget just this year to produce a tremendous number of papers to build a rocket in five years for a mission which a private spaceflight organization will have accomplished in about 3-4 years.

But the Space Launch System benefits the "real Americans" in Red(neck) States, so it's exempt from the "Government Can't Do Anything" meme, even if it is the one part of NASA that is the outstanding example of the meme.

Coincidentally, that's how DirectTV is screwing me out of the Olympic Basketball and Soccer channels...

Because anyone who insists that they're a "real" America is probably an illegal. "Thou dost protest too much" ... sorta like Rupert who is ALSO a "real American." :)

Heh. And you wonder why I laugh over the places you get your "news" from. Have you been out tonight? See that bright planet over in the northeast sky? That's Niburu ... going to kill us all on DEcember 21, fulfilling the Mayan prophesies ... meanwhile you worry about Obama getting re-elected and want a white guy to lead us to the end day. :)

i was joking about the conspiracy.

I don't worry much about Obama and don't bring him up often.

I'm more interested in seeing photos of you and bingbong hiking.

Actually, the program started back in 2004. So it's really OK if republicans want to be proud of America too. :)
