Watching this live is amazing!

Kind of reminds me of being a kid and watching the Space Shuttle tests.

Some beautiful images so far, seeing earth from that distance.

now, being in a filmmaking forum I must ask about the lenses they are using... Does anyone know what equipment they are using? Because the capsule is pretty far...

Probably like a couple Nikon 80-200s with an extender or something like that...

The Internet feed is about 45 seconds behind Discovery.

Seeing shots of you in Mission Control, Barry.

EDIT: I think. Could be a guy who looks remarkably like you, anyway.

 

[Egg Born Son]

Do the sign!

 

[Tom Shortridge]

Congrats to everyone involved. That was incredible.

Amazing! Looking forward to seeing the footage from the camera in his suit!

I had to go to work right as they did the pre-jump checklist (i made it to step 21 before i absolutely had to go, ha) so does anyone know where i can see a replay of the jump?

 

[Kegan]

This was so incredibly cool. Must be an incredible feeling to have been apart of this Barry!

ohhh I missed barry, did he appear on camera?

 

[Everts]

I believe so .....I saw him and was like hey that looks like Barry Green.
Come here and found this thread so I know it must have been Barry Green..was a few minutes before the jump I think.
Congrats Barry Green and his crew.
Was great to see it live.
