NASA + RED DRAGON ARTICLE

[Jarred Land]

The fact that our cameras are floating around in space capturing the incredible work that NASA and the team on the International Space Station continues to be one of the greatest personal achievements to me since we started RED.

NASA just put out a great article today on their website worth the read.

Very cool!

 

[Phil Holland]

So damn cool. I watched this a whole bunch:

 

[Ryan Sauve]

That was awesome! ...but that music... sounds much better muted with the 2001 A Space Odyssey theme music playing in the background. Congrats again Jarred for getting your camera into space.

P.S. What's Liev Schreiber doing on the space station?

 

[Peter Stepnoski]

Incredible achievement, congrats to all you at Red.

 

[Elsie N]

Very nice, but you can't really do Space with anything less than 8k... it's just too big. '-)

 

[David Battistella]

Love.

Great at to see this!

 

[Jesse Conti]

Great article and a very cool clip. I follow Terry on instagram and his photos are fantastic.

It made me think of this...

Prot: Why is a soap bubble round?
Dr. Mark Powell: "Why is a soap bubble round?"
Prot: For an educated man, Dr. Powell, you certainly repeat yourself a lot. Are you aware of that? A soap bubble is round because it is the most energy-efficient configuration.

Awesome. I can picture Kubrick using RED Dragon in space!

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Just fantastic!!

But, I guess they'll be more mind blown soon... Bigger sensor... and oh, 8K...

 

[Nick Morrison]

Congrats. Very cool indeed.

 

[Jeff McCoy]

Thanks for sharing. Super cool.

 

[Poi Boy]

J, That post should be an instant ad in ICG and the ASC mag and also the DGA mag...

Seriously bro

Fantastic, I've been waiting to see some of that footage ever since I heard that camera went up to the ISS. No kidding about the music (I had to mute it too). I've spent a few years working at NASA TV, and a problem we had with all of the handycams that went up were they quickly got pixels knocked out by stray gamma-rays (and other weird things). I guess the Dragon sensor is big and dense enough that any possible injured pixels aren't nearly as noticeable.

Now imagine if they solve the warp drive tech they are researching :coolgleamA:

 

[Joan Poggio]

Lovely, and to think I have the same technology at the tips of my fingers... priceless!!!

 

[Mark Toia]

Now you no what Hasselblad team felt like when they went to the moon. !
Awesome man! Proud of you guys !
I wonder why they didn't opt for the Alexa up there.... Pffffff...

Ok, Ill stop.
