Marc’s note: This morning I received an email from NASA’s YouTube channel informing me that they had uploaded a new video of the Expedition 29 launch.

Tip of the hat to NASA PAO. Direct link for those of you that have YouTube blocked by NASA. Keith’s update: A Carnegie astronomer notes: “While brimming with enthusiasm, this video makes a major error by […]
