You failed to mention that the download for the 266MB takes a couple of days!
It started out saying an hour for me, then it actually dropped a little, I got it in about 50 minutes.

I downloaded it last night. I have Time Warner cable, as good as it gets, and it took approximately the 38 minutes it showed at 138KB/Sec. It ended
at exactly 3AM! I previewed it and I knew I was going to be in for one hell of a 2-minute trip! Sure enough, today when I got on the web, I viewed
the video and it is so beautiful and on my 19" monitor screen it was just glorious. I stopped it at the beginning when it zooming in to the central
peak so that I could get my NAT'L GEO. page to compare and I'm mystified. No explanation, so far, makes sense to me. It's a mystery. Can you
imagine someone with only a phone connection waiting for 2-minute video to download. God, I could hear my beard growing!
It took over a half hour to download 2 minutes but I had forgotten that I watched a similar video at youtube which is not the same flyover as the one
I downloaded but I thought it was almost as good and you don't have to download it, just click on:
www.youtube.com...
Then if you want to view a ton more similar flyovers on other lunar feaures go here and select your trip (in my email page it's an active link so you
don't have to sew the URL together):
