Is that movie from last year?? The tents look differently laid out than this year.

: Hey all!

: I found the coolest thing on Goddard Space Flight
: Center's website. It's a fly-in from space to Orlando
: Florida ("bungie jump"-style) that was composited
: from ground-scanning satellite footage. I expected
: it to fly into downtown Orlando, but was pleasantly
: surprised to see that it actually zooms in on
: Florida->Orlando->Disney World->Epcot! If you
: pause a few seconds before maximum zoom, you
: can even see FIRST city in the upper-right hand
: corner!

: The link to the website follows below. It's a 4.9MB
: MPEG video, but if you can, you should probably
: take the time to download it; your team might be
: able to use the video in its promotions.

: Take care,
: Mark
