An interesting decision to cut the Live Feed 24 / 7 for the ISS.

In this day & age there should be no reason for this ;)

There are of course the now infamous 'BLUE SCREEN'S' that people have read into this and there is no doubt about it that if you watch for long enough! (JUST TRY having it on perhaps in the background? for perhaps a few hours) there is a decent chance you will catch something strange every now & again (and yes I have too...there was clearly something up there with them for a very short time...debris? ice particles :) or whatever? but the powers that be felt the need to cut the feed to this blue screen...curious...there also seems to be at times some curious pixelization around the ISS at times, give it a watch and see unless it's poor old eyes)

There's still not that many people I would venture that would watch this so as long as the feed is cut quickly enough there's nothing too dramatic to report, however I do find this decision a curious one...some have said that the blue screens are due to power shortages? well I find that an extremely convenient excuse for NASA and the powers that be but perhaps that is correct?

Such a shame, regardless of if you watch just in case there's something truly amazing to be witnessed? as if that view isn't already truly AMAZING!!!
What I wouldn't give to see our lovely Blue & White marble from SPACE.

Catch it whilst you can folks because NASA and the likes have either gotten tired of cutting it for whatever reasons or it's costing them too much :whistle:
I understand the LIVE feed will end at the end of August...so enjoy it whilst you can for after this all you'll get are the odd launches & experiments :(

Two links below (enjoy & please report if you see anything truly amazing)

You WILL be amazed how often it cuts to the BLUE SCREEN though :ohmy:
