My moon photos on Discovery Channel
I was contacted several weeks ago about the use of some of my Moon photographs for a TV show. They were looking for photos of lava tubes. Of course, the most easily seen ones are collapsed tubes, but they did not care. They saw some of my photos while they were mining flickr. We exchanged emails and refined what they were looking for and I happened to mention that I also had some movies of the moon. So, I sent them several photos and an AVI. I’m not really sure what if anything they used, but given the fact that I just got an email announcing the premier of the show just moments ago, I can only surmise that something was use in production. The show, Sci-Trek: Mining the Moon, will premiere on the Discovery Channel Thursday, December 11 at 10 pm ET/PT!

I just received word that Discovery will likely delay the premiere. The note indicated that they wanted to properly advertise the show. FWIW, tv.yahoo.com still has the show running, twice, on Thursday night (Dec 11). I’ll post updates here as new information becomes available.

Does anyone know when the show will air? It did not appear on the 11th as advertised. Thanks.
