    Isn't this one of those cameras that's used for the spherical
    projection theatres?  If it is, it looks like NASA is putting togother
    some knock-your-socks-off home movies...

    re .1
    
    Yep.  IMAX was used to produce "The Dream is Alive" (there's a topic
    on it somewhere in here).
    
    BTW...note 486 is dedicated to STS-29.

496.3Looking for blastoff dates...SMURF::DIBBLED&H Travel AgentTue Jan 02 1990 13:516
    I'm looking for a list of projected shuttle dates for 1990. Anybody
    got any ideas where to call? (yes, I've read all the shuttle notes
    here and the Nasa phone number doesn't have enough info.)
    
    Thanks
