Great space-walk/work today. I bet those two guys are flat beat!
Tomorrow: fixing a toilet. From construction to plumbing, we do it all.

I missed that... timer set for the special report later tonight...
Was the footage from ISS in HD ?
If the Guide is correct, it repeats again at 7pm on Wednesday...
Yes, it was HD... I set a timer for the last 24 minutes and missed part of a Mars lander segment, so give it at least :30 minutes...
The toilet's fixed.
Tomorrow, they're putting some cameras outside the new module they just added. Wonder if they'll be HD cameras?

Short sleeve shirts and shorts seems to be the the common clothing on the ISS.
Wonder how that long hair would work braided?

I recorded the repeat and the first half consists of a segment on the Shuttle Launch, which is entirely footage that was contained in the one-hour HD-Net program during the live launch (interviews, etc) and a segment on the Phoenix Lander, which is entirely old news (it landed safely) narrated by Dobbs.
The Day in the Life on ISS was very good - entirely HD, totally non-technical, a lot of fun stuff - and narrated by the astronaut. :up
It is repeated Friday at 7pm EDT.
Has anyone else been seeing a green vertical line on the left side of their tv when viewing the NASA channel? What's up with that?

In England we can see the Nasa coverage on APTN at 10deg East on 10970V 4167sr 5/6 or 12.5 West but freq is not known until the feed comes on.Unfortunately the only coverage on british tv is sometimes a small mention on the News programs. I have followed all of American launches and space activity since day one via short wave radio and now via satellite feeds.Also when the shuttle approaches Europe I listen on 259.7Mhz to the voice comms. It would be great to see a live launch on HD, you are so lucky .

Not HD, but you can watch NASA TV 24 hours a day - and pick from 3 different channels - by simply going to:
NASA - NASA TV
It was launched at 12:05pm , and HD-Net stayed on coverage until 12:10pm, but the Guide listing event ended at 12:00pm.
If you are at home, it is still in the tuner buffer until the end of the hour (or if you padded the event by 10 minutes, you're okay).

Nope.
So, it is actually warm enough in the ISS to require shorts ??
Yes...they do have the ability to control the temperature, mostly it's in the mid 70's. Shorts are easier to maneuver in and more comfortable.
Even better:
NASA TV
1200 kbps.
