They did show a bit of some HD footage being played back from the ISS. It was from a handheld camera, so it wasn't a very steady video (and all that was visible was a bright white-ish small blob). Hopefully they got to take a few decent pictures with a bit more detail.

A little bit of an add on the re-entry video from ISS...NASA TV did another one-hour package of the mission highlights and in it they showed a different bit of video than what I saw this morning, where the plasma trail can be seen behind the orbiter. (Actually looks like footage I've seen shot from Houston during other night re-entries, such as STS-93.) Still going through the day's broadcasts, but I'll see if a more complete replay was presented...

I hope they post it (or someone who recorded it posts it somewhere).
The ISS video I saw didn't show any plasma trail, except for an occasional, brief hint of a short spike behind the bright white blob.

Yeah compared to Soyuz, the shuttle has a big line of plasma behind it. I found that interesting to see reentry of a shuttle from orbit.
Say are any stillf from the video of the RMS scanning the exterior or the orbiter posted anywhere? Flight day 12 had some amazing footage.

I did see some of the footage on a mission highlights compilation yesterday. The earth was totally black, so just the plazma trail and leading 'fireball' were visible. Very interesting none the less.
There have been some amazing images taken during all three RTF missions, including a lot in HD. I would love to see a HD DVD compilation of each flight become available, I think there would be a good sized market for it.

I am suprised IMAX hasnt sent up a camera with a telescopic lens to capture a close up of rentry, or NASA for that matter.

You mean with the focus ability the cameras at KSC can see with on launch day? That would be great.

A year or more ago, someone posted a link to an ftp site that had some hd video of one of the shuttle launches. Looked awesome on a widescreen monitor. Would be nice if someone converted more of the HD video to h.264 or some such. Don't have to wait for hd dvd.

Just read about Heidi! That's gotta suck. If that's the worst that happens to her she's still got it good. After all...she's one of only seven women to ever go spacewalking (six Americans, one Russian). I know that Seddon, Thornton, Godwin, Helms, Jernigan and Piper are the Americans, but who's the Russian?

FWIW, NASA TV ran about 5 minutes of the footage (same low frame rate) during the ISS hour today...perhaps John44 will have that available on his website sometime soon.

Ok...let's straigten that up. First, Piper was the seventh American woman to walk in space. Second, Rhea Seddon is not on that list.
Then you forgot Kathy Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space. And you also left out Peggy Whitson.
Sunita Williams will become the eigth in a few months.

HD Net released a DVD and CD Rom for computer of the first RTF, the DVD is not actually HD but the CD Rom is Windows Media HD and it is superb.

I knew part of that sounded wrong but for some reason I thought it was Seddon that went outside on STS-41G. Reason I said six was because I had read it some place else and went from there and I already know that Williams is going to become the eighth next year.
Returning to the original question...when was Savitskaya's spacewalk?

I captured this photo on the Sept 20th, 7:30 pm looking in the direction of southwestern-western sky? I have emailed this to a couple of newspapers and so far, noone has been able to help me identify it. One person seems to think it was the shuttle in orbit and another seems to think it is an astroid . I havent got any certain answers of as yet and was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on my mystery shot. It looked as it were stationary in the sky I took as many as 15-20 shots. Only about 3 shots turned out focused. Please let me know if anyone knows for sure what this is...... Thanks IN Advance! Darla
Ive added an upcropped image file also.
