I guess Mars is taking all our time these days.
Did you notice that STS116 is scheduled to be launched tonight ? It'll be a night launch visible on the East cost. Can't believe this topic was not yet opened -------------------- |

Another stopped clock at 9 minutes, and getting a silly late hour here. Only NASA who have this variable time. ....begining to think it was a bad idea that those guys got to learn the theory of relativity.

QUOTE (Myran @ Dec 10 2006, 01:35 AM)  Another stopped clock at 9 minutes, and getting a silly late hour here. Only NASA who have this variable time. Actually every launch I've ever seen has holds in it - they make a lot of sense in terms of launch processing - and there's nothing variable about it - there was a 10 minute window and the countdown was aimed for the middle of it ( 8.47pm ET) from the beginning Good to see them get it off the pad - particularly given the poor weather outlook and late fueling Doug |
