I will indeed be there. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware that the show was running all this week (figured it was a once a week deal.) Normally that’d be good, but this week is dead week, which for me is even busier than finals week (the wave of papers/projects that have been procrastinated on is about to break). Looks like I’ll have to shift some stuff around…
Good news – if you happen to be Tivo or VCR challenged/deprived, you can go to the website (follow one of the links above) and hit the “Full Episode” tab. After the subj. episode airs, you’ll be able to watch online at your leisure.

Sweet, thanks. I was wondering if they were going to do some sort of online offering. Liked what I saw so far tonight. Definitely saw a couple of “leadership challenges” among the crew.
Composite of a Series of Images Taken From Space Aboard the Space Station
This is a composite of a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit said of the about photographic techniques used to achieve the images: "My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure." A total of 18 images photographed by the astronaut-monitored stationary camera were combined to create this composite. Image Credit: NASA Read More
