Technology “Glitch” allows Parents to View Space Mission
According to a CNN.com article entitled “Honey, the baby’s spacewalking”, some parents with a common video baby monitor system have been able to pick up video of the current space mission from the space shuttle Atlantis. It has NASA and the manufacturer a bit miffed about how it’s doing that, as NASA claims it isn’t the source of the broadcast; regardless, it’s been quite an entertaining mistake for the owners.
My guess, if it really isn’t NASA or the International Space Station broadcasting at a similar frequency back to earth, is probably caused by someone in the area that hacked together a video transmission signal at the same frequency and was streaming the live video from NASA.com. It is quite an entertaining accident, if you ask me, and I’d be interested in knowing what the truth behind the signal really is.
