Does anyone know of a good (free) tool to dub utube vids?
I found Tubedubber, but it doesn't give you a way to save, or embed, except twitter.

Awesome!

That's incredible... don't know what else to say haha

is there an easy way to put this into a gif? I really want to stare at this for hours.

Why the hell didn't NASA have videos like this 30 years ago? Well, maybe the shuttle doesn't get to a high enough inclination. But regardless! How can you have astronauts staring at this for so long and not think "maybe we should bring a half decent camera with a timer on board the next mission". It's such low hanging fruit as far as outreach.

This needs the futurama Holophoner music dubbed in.
