Discovery Channel in Canada

The Discovery Channel in Canada is showing it tonight in HD (http://www.discoverychannel.ca/shows/showdetails.aspx?sid=5180). Sadly, I can find no mention anywhere of a similar showing here in the U.S.

These are fantastic photos and videos. I can't wait to watch them in HD.

They didn't even use the same fake moonset NASA did back in the 60s and 70s. Soooooo lame & fakey!

Hmm, I wonder if Hannah Montana is in the news...

Seriously, totally awesome. I know someone is going to accuse me of the usual, but... the Japanese deserve the moon, and I mean that in a positive way.
