NASA to air HD tour of International Space Station

Just in case you haven't seen enough NASA footage in HD, you'll love the latest 35 minutes captured by Expedition 18 Commander Mike Fincke. Said crew member, along with flight engineers Sandy Magnus and Yury Lonchakov, has filmed a high-definition tour of the orbiting complex that will be aired as a special Video File on NASA Television's HD Channel 105 at 1:00PM and 3:00PM CST Thursday and Friday (yes, of this week). Of course, it'll also be made available for SD viewers, but where's the fun in that? So, are your DVRing this or what?

Darren, which cable/satellite providers carry the NASA TV HD feed? I've never heard any mention of it before.

Well, I did a little research, and I found this relating to a prior release of HD video by NASA TV:

Response I got from the NASA press release contact about being able to watch this:

"Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, NASA TV is not available in HD, and this HD feed is targeted for the media to distribute on their HD channels."

In the past, NASA HD has been shown on HDNet. Not just the launches, but they did an earlier tour of the ISS in HD on HDNet.

Thanks, I do remember catching that tour on HDNet. I still never get tired of watching them drink water/Tang globs.
