Here we are with another Shuttle launch. Only another 1000 days to go. We're going to miss that.
HD television is available @nasa new web site but not for live videos unfortunately. May be one day on the net. On top of Colombus delivery, when Atlantis will leave the ISS, we'll have the 3rd version (out of 4 scheduled) of the 16's ISS expedition crew as follow : Witson - Malenchenko - Anderson Witson - Malenchenko - Tani Witson - Malenchenko - Eyharts Witson - Malenchenko - Reisman It's nice that (the) Atlantis will deliver Colombus (remind me of something) -------------------- |

Oh man... Sometimes I feel REALLY stupid...
I tried to get NASA TV working via internet as usual when watching shuttle launches and there were some problems this time to see broadcast. I was like grrr....... Is it now just watching text-updates on spaceflightnow.com NO WAY! Still trying to resolve problem, no... no broadcast on my screen, T- 2minutes... shiteshiteshite....! Whattodoo?!?!? Then I got it. TELEVISION! (remember that old grey non-interactive box?). Quickly CNN. "T- 10seconds, 9,8..." phew! Oh man... I felt SOO stupid. Nice launch anyway, and finally we Europeans have our own little module in space. And then we separate it as independent station and then we fly our own Hermes-shuttle there and... .... ...then I woke up and changed dry underwear. No, really, great, this has been a long time coming, let's say half of my short but prosperous and impressive life. Over and out. |
