    The BBC did one a few years back that wasn't live but it was the Earth in an orbit.

    The best one is the NASA film The Dream is Alive.

    I saw The Dream Is Alive at the IMAX in Kennedy Space Centre in 2002; it's a hard watch as Judy Resnik and Dick Scobee feature in it - they both died in the Challenger.

    Been enjoying it so far, to be honest; not finding O'Leary quite as annoying as I'd feared, but indeed we could have had some more depth to the questions without going too space nerd - and explain some of the experiments better. And stop asking them about their favourite view...

    Another vote for Mike Massimino - a gem. I thought he was fantastic in the documentary about how they (he!) saved the Hubble telescope, and is great here.

    Oh, and yes - very impressed with Capcom ;)

    Come on he is used to talking to pop stars who have to be told the answer to the question that he has just asked. So no room for letting the other person get a word in edgeways.

    This is terrible, and it's not helped by that idiot Dermot.

    A great idea ruined by Channel4.

    I'm not a big fan of Dermot, but I don't think he's doing as bad a job as people are making out.

    What is he not asking them that you want him to ask them?

    I'd like him to stop umming and erring.

    Stop the ridiculous over the top cackling too.

    Agree, also not a fan of Dermot, but he's doing fine.

    how so?

    i mean,,,we rarely have the opportunity to be live from the ISS and we have only had a few minutes of pictures, most of this program is with Dermot talking to people.

    Why have they not got a 24/7 live webcam from it that anyone can tune into like Time Sq in New York?

    They have just installed a system on the ISS for this with an HD camera.

    So what happens when it all goes wrong and the asteroid crashes into our moon knocking it out of our orbit and affecting our own trajectory so that we crash into the sun.

    My Mom is has no interest in space etc,,, however she tuned in tonight to see pictures of the Earth, and the ones she has seen she said are amazing and mind blowing, but sadly there hasnt been enough to keep her watching and now she has turned over.

    Something like a 24/7 camera would be a superb idea, i want to see more of Britain from the ISS etc

    I've actually quite enjoyed this, more of the Earth would have been good but I don't mind the talking, I don't get why people can't watch intelligent conversation.

    How come Sky haven't got exclusive rights to this and charging £5 extra. (Plus HD pack Plus Basic pack)

    :D

    We could watch it go over (as I have many times) whilst watching their view of them going over us.
