Microsoft has been through many launches -- but never like this.
NASA says it will use Microsoft's unusual Photosynth photo  
presentation program to give the public a unique view of the space  
shuttle Endeavour as it was prepped for liftoff, set for later this  
week.

Depending on the level of public interest, the collaboration could  
give the technology a higher profile. Microsoft plans to ultimately  
incorporate Photosynth into its online consumer offerings

Photosynth can display hundreds of standard photos inside a Web  
browser at the angles they were taken and in the positions they would  
appear in the real world. Combined, they effectively create a three- 
dimensional scene that people can navigate quickly by clicking on  
individual photos and zooming around the screen.
