Gahhh, is it too late to catch the raw footage anywhere now?

WHY WAS I LIVING UNDER A ROCK ALL THIS TIME?

The on-line version is the same as the version aired on TCR.

Of course, what NASA TV showed was just the raw footage from ISS which contained some unaired topics, longer delays, Stephen checking his notes, etc. It was interesting to see how they took that and edited down. I was actually not expecting so much of the original material to make it to air.

I watch the online version, and I think they cut out the “what do you have against humanity” bit that was also reminiscent of the BKAD of “what is it about your state that make people want to leave the earth” :)

Did they also cut it from the aired episode?

God bless the early internet kook “Space Bang!” Doug Bell, author (as Douglas Kendall) of Van Gogh in Space and other “. . . in Space” titles.

OMG YOU GUYS. THAT WAS SO COOL.

Also, I love that the satellite delay between TCR and space is exactly the same as the satellite delay between TDS and Austin, Texas.

What a GREAT interview. I have watched it 3 times now. Stephen’s voice is so entertaining – dare I say, adorable – even without seeing his face.

My favorite part is the very beginning: “Awesome! I can’t believe my voice is going to space!” He really geeked out all over the place. So adorable. Okay, stop it… now I’m turning off my computer.

I loved the time-delayed reaction. Reisman is great! I can’t wait to see how they shoot and edit in Stephen’s in-studio part.

I hope Stephen has him on the show – in the studio – once he’s back in June!

Dang! typed my last reCAPTCHA wrong!

It sounds like the “audience” is probably staff and crew in the studio.
