| ->> found this on Vimeo http://vimeo.com/4366695, the '69 launch of the Apollo 11 launch in slow mo. The launch was on a Saturn V rocket. There was a camera focused on just the engines shooting 500fps of 16mm film. A company took it and converted it to HD. The footage is played back in slow mo, the 8 minutes of video was 30 seconds of real time. |

->> David--
There's still a few more opportunities to get that sound trigger remote debugged for the shuttle. One additional launch has been added for November.

->> Steve,
Hope to be there in May. Just waiting on the blessing from the press center gods.
You'd think having shot 3 of them before would weigh in my favor. |

Also there has been no extra shuttle launch added. The july 29th launch has now been moved to Nov now due to payload issues still being work on...Next shuttle launches are May 14th, Sept 16th and now Nov will be the last..if all dates hold? |
