WOW!

What an awesome show! The tension, teh excitement.. it really pulled me in.

A very well put together show! The images were stunning, even though they were nothing new from what I'd seen around the 'net, they're still awesome especially when put in perspective with the people in the control room.

Top stuff

Aah, that was good! I nearly forgot to watch it myself. More details in the latest issue of AS&T, including how they recovered some of the lost data from Huygens' faint signals received by radio telescopes on Earth.

I wonder if the DVD is available at the ABC shop yet?
Do any of you listen to the Astronomy program on the radio on thursdays? I think it is on 612 4QR.

Jeanette, Re radio program, Do you mean Star Stuff presented by Stuart Gary? (starts with the original Star Wars theme..)

Is that a local station? I'm not sure what national astronomy programs they have on the ABC, I know there's a few on my local ABC (AM702 sydney or 92.5FM central coast). Fred Watson chat with Angela Catterns on Thursday mornings at 5:50am.

Yesterday a local astronomer (Ian Tasker) was on the local ABC talking about the ROER project and he kindly mentioned IceInSpace
