Default National Geographic Channel: Live From Space

http://natgeotv.com/ca/live-from-space

Quote:
With amazing access to and footage from the ISS and Mission Control, we’ll go into orbit with astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Koichi Wakata as they fly at 17,500 mph above the earth on the journey of a lifetime. Astronaut Mike Massimino (famously known for helping to fix the Hubble Telescope) will keep us grounded at the famous Mission Control of the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Live From Space will feature an insider’s guide to living in space as Rick and Koichi share their lives with us, from everyday tasks such as washing and eating in microgravity, to carrying out scientific experiments and undertaking emergency spacewalks! We’ll also show how science in space is benefitting people on Earth such as the ISS’s robotic arm which is the inspiration for a neurosurgical robot that removes brain tumors
This will air this Friday on The National Geographic Channel this Friday.
Set your PVR's, could be a good one. It's too bad that everyone's favorite Astronaut (Chris Hadfield) wasn't on board for the taping.

Thanks!!

I have hopes that this kind of exposure will eventually get interest up in restarting the American Space Program and getting back to the idea of exploration and conquest in space instead of building what basically amounts to semi trucks.
