Galileo - End of Mission

Galileo - End of Mission

On September 21, the Galileo mission will come to an end when the
hardy spacecraft plunges into the crushing pressure of Jupiter's
atmosphere. This planned maneuver will prevent the risk of Galileo
drifting to an unwanted impact with the moon Europa,
which may harbor a subsurface ocean.

I shall look forward to seeing that. But, with respect, I wish that NASA did
not favor streaming video in RealPlayer format. After some bad experiences I
wold *never* let Real Player anywhere near my PC.

Ditto here. Please NASA, offer WMV/WMA as an alternative
if not a replacement.

NASA provides formats other than RealPayer. Here you can view
using Windows Media Player:

Agreed, now what for alternative? DivX?

You could always try QuickTime, or downloaded MPEG-1, given
adequate bandwidth.

I have just looked at the NASA webcast schedule for today, Sep 21 and see
that a Galileo webcast is scheduled....but only in ram format. Not wanting
RealPlayer on my system it looks like I shall miss it. :-(

Unless some kind person can point me to a MPEG or WindowsMedia feed in the
next couple of hours??

Is there a report on what Galileo found on its way down anywhere?
Or did it switch off in those vital seconds?
