You can't see anything! 35 years in space and the video's still suck! What is so hard about getting a real color video recorder with a decent resolution and zoom on it in to space! baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ah!

The footage was in black and white because the particular camera streaming live footage to the ground is broken (at least its color capability) and will be fixed on the next spacewalk in December. A non-streaming camera was positioned for the golf shot specifically and will be downlinked separately for use by Element 21 in an upcoming commercial for their golf clubs. That footage will debut on the web (including on collectSPACE.com) early next month.
