QUOTE (edstrick @ Nov 23 2005, 02:24 PM) I also have Saturn 501 in mono.. the first test flight.. as Walter said, at t +15 seconds.. "MY GOD! THE BUILDING'S SHAKING! THE BUILDING'S SHAKING HERE!"  Wow. Any chance we (well, be honest: me!) could get our hands on that recording?  EDIT: Does anyone out here own the DVD (DVDs ?) "The Mighty Saturns" which supposedly has lots of high quality video footage of these behemoths? I'm thinking of buying the collection myself, one of these days and was wondering if it'd be worth it? -------------------- |

ARIANE 5 LAUNCH SCRUBBED
------------------------ Tuesday's launch of two European communications satellites aboard an Ariane 5 rocket was scrubbed due to ground equipment troubles. Arianespace is working to establish a new launch date. http://spaceflightnow.com/ariane/v170/status.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

SPACEWAR
- Spanish Military Satellite Launch Pencilled In For Friday http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Spanish_Mi...For_Friday.html Paris, France (AFP) Feb 22, 2006 - Space operator Arianespace said Wednesday that the scrubbed launch of an Ariane rocket to place a major Spanish military satellite in orbit was being tentatively rescheduled for Friday. An Ariane 5 ECA, a heavy-duty version of the European Space Agency (ESA) Ariane 5 series, was to have blasted off late Tuesday from Kourou, French Guiana. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
