I am looking for the full HD (I believe 720p was the full resolution) tour of the ISS video done by Mike Fincke. I believe it is somewhere around 30 minutes long.

I have on my computer the cut down 10 minute version of it. Its in 720p at 153 MB's in size.

On you tube, there are 4 individual parts of the full version, however that is in cheap internet quality. The NASA website is where I was able to find and download the cut-down 10 minute version. (and now I can't find that page any more either) There -has- to be a full version for download somewhere.

If anyone knows where, please point us in the right direction.



YouTube version:

International Space Station Tour (Part I)

International Space Station Tour (Part IV)
 
The only HD version available is the 10 min. trimmed down version.

However, this tour done by Mike Barratt is by far the best one, in my opinion:

I agree with Pete, I like Barratt's better. I feel like I've seen a full HD version before, but it may have been a different tour. Or maybe I am just going crazy :P
 
I don't like the Mike Barratt one, it feels very cold, impersonal, and the guys lacks any presentation skill.

As a matter of fact, upon further investigation, that's not really a "tour" per se. It's a monthly "report" that the crew records so the station management back on Earth can have a visual record of the state of the station. That's why he ignores some parts entirely, and uses such technical terms.

The video done by Mike Fincke is a true tour of the space station.

That's probably why I like it so much - I love technical terms! :lol:

If you like more personal tours, then try Garrett Reisman's (on YouTube in several parts) - it's not HD, but it's still great, and very personal! :)

Also, take a look on JAXA's YouTube channel - there's some great HD ISS tours on there (and they're perfectly understandable if you speak Japanese)! :P
