Default Hubble Telescope and the BA on National Geographic

BA Blog: TV show on National Geographic tonight!

Quote:
Just a quick reminder: the Hubble documentary I’m in will be on the national Geographic Channel tonight! It’s at 10:00 p.m. Eastern time (8:00 Mountain time), but you should check your local listings, of course. If you miss it, it repeats later (two hours after the first showing ends). It’s also on their HD channel. Kewl.
BA Blog: Hubble documentary on NatGeo

Quote:
A new documentary about Hubble and astronomy, called "Hubble’s Amazing Universe", will air on the National Geographic Channel this Sunday, October 5 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern (check your local listing, though).
[...]
The show is pretty good! It covers a lot of ground, from the births and deaths of stars, to dark matter and dark energy. The animations and imagery are excellent, much better than usual for such a show. There are some great impact animations, ones I hadn’t seen before, that were extremely cool. And of course, the Hubble images themselves. Hard to go wrong there.

I enjoyed it. I was hoping to see more on the intended repairs though.
And great job BA. Hope to see more of you on the science channels.

In Canada there is, but it is pretty much all SciFi, so I guess it wouldn't be aired on that station now that I think about it. Do you have a scifi channel?
