Live from the Space Station in HD

Discovery HD Space StationEarlier this morning the Discovery HiDef Theater had a half-hour special live from Space Station. The first HD live broadcast from space and I was left needing more and wondering why they only made if a half hour long. Nevertheless, the broadcast was full of neat visuals inside the station, and orange juice bubbles are always fun.

What was truly upsetting was the lack of exterior shots or views of Earth from space. It's neat to see how the astronauts work out and their lab, but what about seeing the Earth...from SPACE!!!111 There was obvious lag, which is expected, but somebody slap the naut and tell him to point the camera out the window . For some reason in the half hour live episode we only saw 2 seconds of actual space footage.

The brief moment we were rewarded with a shot of the earth from the tiny space station windows we were subjected to the announcers dumb ass comments. Apparently Africa looks like ocean from space, in HD, if your high! Oh well, no one is perfect and things like that are expected live. All in all, I hope there is more to come and perhaps at a better in a better time frame, luckily I've got a dual tuner DVR. ;)
