Breaking Atmo Video. Although I rarely use the word "awesome," it seems very appropriate to use it to describe this fanvideo celebrating the arrival of Serenity and Firefly at the International Space Station. Really awesome.

Well, the word "awesome" has already been used so I'll have to go with brilliant!

Seriously, it gave me a shiver of joy.

One word: Chills.

I can see my house from here ... ;-)

It's pretty easy to get caught up in all the bad shit we do as a species, there's sure plenty of it but every now and then it is, literally, wonderful to be reminded about the other side of the Sapiens coin. We're made from stars, y'know ? Beautiful.

They say that people in Florida get almost "dulled" to the awesomeness that is the shuttle program.... But footage like that still brings a tear to the eyes of this Floridian.

Great video, very well done!

SenseiJJ | July 18, 19:21 CET

Thats bloody Fraktabulous!

Evilpony | July 18, 19:23 CET

Fanfreakingtastic. I loved it.

They have been playing some of the footage from the mission on the NASA channel, but I haven't been able to catch the beginning.. I've just seen them eating (totally amusing!) and coming home. This is great. Thanks for posting it!

Also, did you notice how balloons are -always- fun in space!?

mifeng | July 18, 20:28 CET

Is it available in a higher resolution?

Pumps | July 18, 20:34 CET

That was really, really nice.

Also reminds me of how beautiful David Newman's score is!

UnpluggedCrazy | July 18, 20:58 CET

If someone can explain why that video made me teary... I'd be interested to hear it.

Seriously wonderful video.

Kirochka | July 18, 21:24 CET

Is it available in a higher resolution?

Well, yes and no. The reality is that the bulk of it is taken from videos downloaded off of nasa.gov -- which are not high-quality to begin with. So, while there's a larger version (since it originally was edited to burn to DVD and show on the big screen at Firefly at the Mission last night), it's not actually of a higher quality or resolution, really.

Kirochka, I teared up, too. If I figure out why, I'll let you know.

kishi | July 18, 21:52 CET

Thanks for making me tear up at work!

Seriously though, watching that video was a moving experience.
Filled me with an overwhelming sense of rightness.

No one has said "Shiny" yet. I give this a Shiny factor of Ten: Break out the welding glasses! :D

TDBrown | July 19, 00:32 CET

That rules SO HARD! :D

nicoleh | July 19, 00:54 CET

I found it amusing that the launch had some tiles falling off the Shuttle.

"What was that?"

WCityMike | July 19, 01:20 CET

Am I a big baby just because I cry everytime I hear that music?! This was the highlight of my week. And I am so damn proud to be a Browncoat.

madmolly | July 19, 01:20 CET

::raising hand:: Big baby also. Gets me everytime.

Slipping About | July 19, 01:51 CET

Anyone know where I can get the stills of the floating DVDs? That was something I want to look at often.

Also, Saje makes a great point, which made me smile when I realized how true those words were. That plus that video? "It's enough."

The Blue Leopard | July 19, 05:27 CET

Dagnabbit, you went and made me all misty.

Magnificent.

Right here.

Out. Of. This. World.

Literally! :-)

missb | July 19, 12:13 CET

This video uses up all the awesome for the week. The music started and my sight got all...bendy.
If you cry in minimal gravity, do the tears just stay in your eyes?

Traevynn | July 19, 21:11 CET

*wipes glasses, not unlike a certain Watcher.*

I musta got something in my eye.

QuoterGal | July 19, 21:22 CET

Late as this is, I have to add my "made me tear up". There really are no words for the emotion. *sniffle*
