Excuse the astronauts, they have to go into space now. :D

oh wow they're going around the orbiter right now taking 3D pictures of the heat tiles on the leading edges to make there's not another reentry accident

this is rad. I wish I had a fancy pair of those shuttered 3D glasses.

seriously, if they would just put some production value into this stuff so people would actually have incentive to watch, that might do something about their funding problems :/
