  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Dragon shooting Dragon in Space

I remember buying a Hasselblad because NASA used them. It is a pretty big testament to RED that NASA has chosen the Dragon. I mean they vet this stuff right?
I am very jazzed about the whole thing.....
 
It's so weightless! Congratulations, this does put quite the seal of approval on everything Jim wanted to accomplish. This is simply fun!
 
The best part is, no gimbal required!

So so nice to see it floating so smoothly in space. Wonderful.

Awesome, congrats again. And thanks for sharing, great to watch.

Agreed, weightless is supercool. :D
 
Being a SpaceX & Tesla fan (I own a Model S) as well as a RED fan, I have to say that Elon Musk shares a lot of the same traits I admire with Jim & Jarred.

Great companies to follow... and I'm pumped to see some SpaceX Dragon footage shot on a Red Dragon.
 
Very cool!
Is this a custom camera for NASA? I can imagine they need special OLPF with heavy UV and IR filtration.
 
So...roughly 10 years from "scam" to space.

"Not bad."
 
LOL, Yeah, I guess they wanted a cardioid pattern to catch all the ambience in the cockpit. But why the 6' XLR cable?? ;)
 
mazing!
 
ha, nice !

i have to say though..i worked on a bollywood movie a few years ago.. the sound man only had two mics..very very tiny mics..which were plugged into a nagra..and old. i was dubious at first, about the mics , not the nagra... but was pleasantly surprised at the results he got..

..but i just can't believe someone decided "that mic" was the correct one to send into space.. nasa..can you hear me? .. you can get really small mics nowadays ..just saying....actually, i feel let down. ive watched countless documentaries where im told shaving every gram is critical before sending anything to space.. and now this..

..as for the 9" touch .. i know people on earth that have bought them, and never use them because of their unpractical size ..

It is very likely that in this video they were using both a mic and a lens that were already up there.

In terms of weight, thats not really true either. The space station is at a relatively low altitude and the Falcon 9 has had literal tons of extra payload capacity on every low earth orbit flight that it has flown. That's why they're using the spare fuel that they have left over once they're done with the primary mission to fly the first stage of the rocket back to earth.
 
I was pleasantly surprised to find out NASA is using a multi pinhole camera: PIXIE -
Polar Ionospheric X-Ray Imaging Experiment. Quite a beast and, as you might expect, not your granddad's pinhole camera.

The link is way too long. I searched: images of nasa multi-pinhole camera pixie
