Whenever I have trouble falling asleep I put on old these old sci-fi movies from 50-60s. I don't know why but they are very calming to me and it works within an hour. The first half you think about what is wrong (i.e. gravity) and then it doesn't matter because you are asleep by the second half. I saw some and loved some 60's plus movies especially when Star Trek would air just after church on Sunday. 7 siblings including my self would buy ice cream and race home and watch Kirk and the gang on their exploits as they were telecast for the first time every week.

[@onenorm1]

1:22 - They don't have another satellite with a camera so this must be a camera on the satellite using space age 'bounce back photo' technology. And as it's spinning it is also using 'spin frame rotational snap' technology. Both of these will probably be coming to the market in the next few months.

@@londonlady227 : From what I understand their trajectory was via the thinnest limbs and they calculated the exposure would be brief enough not to be of great concern . . . or were willing to risk it. I'm just curious about the film. What precautions or special adaptations were made to the camera lining. One Haselblad guy said nothing was done to the cameras. Hard to understand unless the film cassettes were altered and he didn't know about that.
