Anyone out there in net.land with access to NASA-Select video
manage to tape the STS-30 post flight press conference? I understand that
they showed some neato video shot during launch from the Sony camcorder.

I'd love to be able to get a copy of that!

While I'm at it, the Sony was declared a success, and it has been
recommended that all of the interior cameras be replaced with the Sony
or some equivalent box. Further tests are planned using the new Hi-8 
format and Super-VHS systems. 

It's nice to see them dumping those dreadful field-sequential cameras.

P.S. A total of 13 hours and 44 minutes of downlink video was sent, about
3 1/2 hours from the camcorder.
