Why don't the shuttle launch videos ever show much video of inside the
cabin?
The Soyuz launch video puts you inside the cabin from the moment the rocket
lights all the way until they are well in orbit! And the quality of the
video is pretty good.
Its bad ass and really cool to watch. The perspective is awesome. Much
better than watching some little white dot moving across the sky (shuttle).
If the Russians can do it, certaintly NASA should not only be able to do it
to but also do it in high definition!
Yes, I want the eye candy!

I was thinking the exact same thing while watching last night! I don't have
access to NASA TV, so I watch the streaming video. This mission is the
first time I have spent very much time watching it and many times I think
"man, NASA's PR bunch just absolutely misses the point". There is so much
cool footage they could be showing, but they will show the boards at MCC,
and even at that, they are unreadable on streaming.
Even when they do post the extremely cool SRB videos, they either put them
in a crappy format, or stuff them away on some streaming site so you can't
download them (I know Chuck there are ways... ;) ). As a taxpayer, I feel
like this is my property and I ought to be able to download as high a
resolution as I want.
NASA, are you listening????

Got to agree with that, why don't they make all the HD footage available as
well - it's taxpayers money that paid for it!
And while we're about it, how about a 24/7 streaming webcam from the ISS
looking down on the earth? That would be cool.

Very cool and they should have done it years ago. Bandwidth's can't be that
expensive.
I always thought they missed a chance with Walter Cronkite. I'd have loved to
have seen him do a newscast from space, with all of the imagery being the
earth below. Might have changed some people's persepectives on things.

The fact that the view is of the earth moving slowly beneath would mean
you'd get extremely good motion compression I would imagine, even at
reasonable resolution.
And it would have far more impact on more people than any number of obscure
microgravity experiments. I'd have it as my permanent screensaver:)
