Ok video from the crew coming in. Here are images!
Edit: These images were taken from a live NASA TV Snapshot page. At a result of some ROTTEN luck it usually took a snapshot at the wrong time. (Such as when a crewmember was blocking the camera or it was pointed wrong)
I got these images but it is MUCH better watching the video. I hope John44 captured some and I hope yall will watch the highlights after the crew rests.
I'm going to work on a method of getting VLC images down to a good size for posting on here so I don't have to rely on that snapshot feed. My goal is for high quality archival images at any time under 30kb.
FD2 Crew Highlights Images.

I have a question about how they did those highlights. Do they have a camera (or tape) designated as the "daily highlight tape"...such that these shots are unedited and recorded sequentially? They don't do (or rather have the time to do) digital video editing up there....or do they?

They use a Mini DV camera on orbit to take additional video for things like what you just saw. These are unedited, from what I know, and are recorded event after event.

I think the daily FD highlights are assembled and edited on the ground by the NASA TV people at JSC.

Thats NASA FD highlights. This Crew Flight day highlights seem to be a new feature where they toss a camera around and then talk about it as its being downlinked.
Alot better than STS-121 where you basicly saw no views inside the Orbiter outside of press conferences.
114 managed to have KU during docking so we were able to watch the shake of docking from a camera on one of the seats live! I hope they do that again.

Im confused. So is the replay they show in an hour the NTV FDhighlights or the Crew FDhighlights?

They will mix in the FD Crew highlights into the rest of the stuff they gained today to make the NASA TV FD Highlights.

And here we go again:
CNN.com: "Shuttle docking a 'go' despite gap in heat blanket" That "despite" makes it sound like a bad decision on NASA's part. Seems the media really get going if there's a disaster in the works, or if they can make you THINK there's one in the works...
Wasn't it STS-116 when some news service was reporting a huge amount of damage to the "station's heat shield"?

Its the name of the game - there will always be some kind of "damage" on a mission. It could be completely inconsequential, but if its the least bit off-nominal the media will pounce on it. They have to - drama increases ratings. We, on the other hand, are actually considering the details, the engineering, the probabilities, and most importantly are reserving judgment waiting from the MMT.
That's why we are all here, and not watching the news networks.
I will admit though, my family out of state called me after what they saw on CNN to "get it from the source." I guess the 15 seconds they spent on it really scared them.

This was to kick off the FD3 live update pages, but I'm linking it up now, as the mass media is getting out of hand with the "oh no, the sky is falling" type drama, when really there's no drama apart from the uber cool RPM coming up.

Some idiot journalist on The Drudge Report has a big headline calling the protruding blanket a "gash" in the shuttle. Just as yesterday CNN was getting apoplectic half an hour before launch about the flight being scrubbed for TAL weather.
The media loves being alarmist. They think that sensationalism will help their ratings. Completely irresponsible. And CNN used to be respectable. Now they're getting sloppy in their attempt to catch FOX News in their ratings.
At least there's still BBC.

BBC is slipping too.
You know if they are just going to do this crap. I'd rather have them running after Paris.
I guess when she flies SS2 they will have to have press conferences and alarms when a piece of paint falls off.

Good News! I got VLC working right and no longer have to rely on the Official Snapshot feed.
As the crew sleeps Atlantis sails to the station!

BBC??? You're having a laugh mate. They're a complete joke now-a-days.
Besides, they were talking about Shuttle coverage for this mission, so you could have said "At least there's NASASpaceflight.com"
