The long promised IMAX movie with shots actually taken aboard the
shuttle in space is out! (I believe it was first discussed
here about 6 months ago.)
It opened today at Great America amusement park in Santa Clara, CA.
Since it was sponsored/produced by the Smithsonian, I assume it has
or shortly will appear there as well.
The movie has some truly great sequences, although it spends a bit
too much time on shuttle launches (that is, if you've already seen
Hail, Columbia). Some of the sequences include the 'rescue' of the
Solar Max satellite, although not of the actual 'rescue'.
Hope this isn't a redundant posting, we've had problems with one
of our main news feeds lately.
