Even if not well executed (in some opinions) at least it's something to build on.
I can only hope that whatever Discovery Channel uses the video for is very successful and results in increased sponsorship in the future. This may be similar to the music download situation where for a time music enthusiasts were spoiled with a treasure of free music online and revolted when asked to pay. A balance has to be found between free and paid material if sponsorship is to be involved. The space enthusiasts may be upset by production delays, but in the end the mission's appeal to the masses will be enhanced by the finished product, not diminished. (Of course, I'm making assumptions about the product.) I do think high quality images should be available on line in a controlled manner. These are the things that need to be worked out as sponsorship of space exploration grows (hopefully). |
