  1. Its time to explore the moon once again.

  2. dinesh kumawat Fortunately NASA's projects result in a lot of commercial products, so the money spent creates a lot of economic benefit. Every year NASA publishes in their Spinoffs publication a list of 50 technologies companies have brought into the commercial market that year, based on work done at NASA: http://spinoff.nasa.gov

    Here are some of the Spinoffs from the Orion and Space Launch System so far: http://spinoff.nasa.gov/pdf/Orion%20and%20SLS%20flyer.pdf

  3. Very interesting indeed to witness Wernher von Braun ideas and designs become reality almost 60 years later. A long and painful way from V2 rockets and operation Paperclip to the Orion spacecraft, but apparently he's done it again.

  4. Alex Lapidus  For the NASA Orion EFT-1 launch I put two DSLRs, a GoPro and an iPhone on a bracket to shoot telephoto and wide video and stills.  Unfortunately the video didn't start on the video shooting 300mm on a Canon 70D (480mm effective).  I'll start the video earlier next time, and I bought a sturdier video tripod to handle all the equipment better as well.

  5. What you've got is great!  I have all those things, but I've never actually shot with more than two DSLRs or one DSLR and a phone at the same time.

  6. I like the flock of birds coming through around 4:22; they know when it's safe to come back :-)

  7. Alex Lapidus I bought a flat piece of metal to turn a single camera mount bolt into two (it came with the camera bolts), and I pointed the two cameras at the rocket I'd be tracking.  I bought a video head to pan smoothly.  

    To add the iPhone I wrapped a Joby Gorillapod around the back of my 70-200mm lens barrel, and I had an olloclip case for the iPhone that enabled me to attach it to the bolt on the Gorillapod.  The iPhone captured the narration (on loudspeakers at the viewing site), even when I missed the start on the DSLR video.

    For the EFT-1 launch I ended up shooting from 10+ miles away to get up over the coastal fog, but I had an iPhone connected to a Web broadcast for the NASA coverage, and their commentary was picked up on the live DSLR video.

  8. Great, thank you!  Wouldn't have thought of the camera mount bolt, but it makes sense.  Linda and I just got new tripods, and we have two older ones as spares, so at least that isn't a scarce resource.

  9. Alex Lapidus The bracket was all pre-built, with something to attach to the tripod as well as knobs/bolts for attaching the two cameras.
