Hubble Imax film

[marcdearn]

Just returned from the family holiday to Florida and (apart from seeing Endevour launch from Space view park) the highlight for me was the visit to Kennedy Space centre.

The Shuttle launch simulator was a blast (sic) but the Imax film about Hubble was excellent

42 minutes on the launch, repair and work of HST with numerous pictures and video diary reports from the astronauts, a measured commentary from Leonardo Decaprio with many facts and a real sense of wonder

Good for the informed and less inforned alike

Well done NASA

Just back and seen both movies there

The journey from a wide sky shot into the protoplanetary systems in the Orion nebula was the most jaw dropping bit of astro footage I've ever seen. I wish I could find a clip of it
