*gasp!* No stars! It's a fake!

LOL! Yeah, I'm sure someone will point that out.
This is funny:
"This is the world's first successful shooting of such a Full Earth-Rise. " (from the JAXA site)
Hmmm... the "WORLD's" first? I'm scratching my head with that one... can't decide if it's irony or comedy. ;-)

So does anyone have the video for download in full 1920x1080 somewhere? The jaxa archives only has it in extremely low resolution (480X270)...

Seriously, it's SHOT in HD, I want it in HD! I want to see what kind of detail you can see of the moon's surface and how sharp the earth looks from that distance.

Yeah...this is great and all but where can we download it? I want this on my PS3...

A fuzzy image with crappy edge enhancement is not HD in my opinion. I think the photos they took when they originally landed on the moon look better than this.

Keepvid.com will not allow me to download the correct flash file, anyone have a WMV or MPG version of this?

Saw it playing at NAB in Vegas two weeks ago. Freakin' amazing in HD. If I hadn't read about it before that, I wouldn't have thought it was even real. Think it was playing at NHK's booth... but I can't remember.

I downloaded the video's on JAXA websit a while ago, they're available but not in HD resolution. There are two videos though, coming and going (probe has 2 cameras):

The Blu-Ray is for sell on Amazon in Japan, though it's pricey:

￥3,652 is currently $35 US dollars and that's not too bad for an import film.
