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) -------------------- |

Hi, im new here. Just joined yesterday. Its hard to get connected to the rest of the world when yer in the middle of Africa.....Tanzania, Dar es Salaam to be precise. Any way im sure all of of us hav one thing in common.....the postponed launch of STS-122. I mean c'mon, i'v watched most of the shuttle launches since "Discovery's Return to Flight" mission but this has got to be one of the most frustrating missions i hav ever had the pleasure to witness.
Anyway, safety coms first i suppose. I didnt notice that spider picture posted by lyford! It kind of reminds me of Tintin in "The Shooting Star". Here's to a succesful launch on 2nd January. -------------------- |

QUOTE (Doc @ Dec 12 2007, 06:10 AM)  ...this has got to be one of the most frustrating missions i have ever had the pleasure to witness. Ironically it looked like one of the smoothest up to the point where the current problem occurred. Having lived a two hour drive from The Cape the entire life of the Shuttle program, this was going to be the first time I made the drive to see a launch. All the stars were in alignment: Beautiful weather, no serious problems being worked, wife and I both finagled time off from work.... Oh, well. |
