Jarred! thats incredible and inspiring!

So proud to have shot or had RED on my sets for the majority of my career.

 

[Jarred Land]

Thanks Ryan... this is incredible to the whole RED family but personally is very huge for me. I've been on cloud 9 for the whole week

 

[Ryan Hamblin]

I can't even imagine. When I was a kid I was obsessed with physics and thought I would work for nasa... then I realized I liked the idea of physics and missed making arty farty things. Now I kinda sorta got a few degrees of separation from doing both... Ha

 

[Adam Johnson]

Wow thats bad ass, congrats Jarred!!!

 

[Julio Quintana]

Holy crap...that's seriously incredible.

 

[Jon Carr]

To infinity and beyond!

but seriously, will this be for research only or will the footage be posted by NASA? Some 6kws 100fps spacewalks please!

 

[Ryan Sauve]

Do they need a cam op to go along? I can free up some space in my schedule.

 

[Chad Lancaster]

so so cool

 

[Isaac Marchionna]

I seem to recall they can't bring most of their cameras back down again? So does that mean they'll just throw EPIC Dragons into space? NOOOooooOOOOO!

 

[Samir Patel]

Yep Yep Yep.... Knew I backed the right horse. Onwards and upwards!

 

[Terry Delahunt]

From the wooden box to the camera in space. What a journey! Jim must be pleased.

 

[Matt Ryan]

Wow, this is huge! Congrats to everyone at RED!!

 

[D Fuller]

As one who watched all of the launches and splashdowns and walks on the moon as a kid, this makes me proud of RED for joining this very elite and admirable group. Hats off!

 

[Omar Saad]

That's awesome, congrats!

 

[Petr Dvorak]

Big congrats :hurray:
Cant wait for 4K (or more) spacewalk/earth/deep space footage.

But what took them so long? We already missed last spectacular Space Shuttle missions

 

[Antonio Forjaz]

Congratulations

 

[Marcos Montenegro]

[Eric De Fino]

Congrats to the whole Red team. That's very cool.
