Did i hear right that STS-124 has slipped to May 25th?

 

[MeteorWayne]

Yes, I believe s_g said it was an ET delivery issue. I think it's in the STS 124 thread <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters.

Damn, im on holiday for 2 weeks then and wont have internet access to keep uptodate with the mission <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" />

 

[Testing]

The tank did not actually slip that far but enough to miss the earlier window. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[MeteorWayne]

Yes, what they said was it was a combination of the tank delay and a beta window due to thermal issues. The tank dely would have put the lunch very near the start of the nogo window.<br /><br />So better to just get past the beta window and work toward that goal. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

[MeteorWayne]

You can also go straight to NASA, they have many replays available as well. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

For some reason I'm not able to reach nasa.gov today... I have tried from different physical locations, but it seems that there is some DNS issues because the name resolution for that address is not working. I'm sure that it is working for most of you, probably our biggest teleoperator TeliaSonera in Finland is having some problems. Other web sites are working well... Hopefully better luck with nasa.gov tomorrow so I can check Nasa's video archives as well. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[MeteorWayne]

I haven't has any problems today at all.<br /><br />The workload is a bit heavy, but I've had no trouble even getting NASA TV video today, and that's bandwidth intensive. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

[Zipi]

I wasn't able to watch Nasa TV from Nasa's web site today... Even I tried with a direct IP address instead of DNS name and direct link to the stream instead of the web page. I Actually got a little hurry to find an alternative source to watch the landing in live. Fortunately Yahoo is proadcasting the Nasa TV without nasa.gov addressing from:<br /><br />http://news.yahoo.com/fc/Science/Space_Shuttle<br /><br />And I got my Nasa TV live stream 10 minutes to landing. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[bobblebob]

Anyone else abit bored now the mission has ended? So used to streaming Nasatv whenever im at my PC, it feels weird now its over. Least we only have a few week to wait for the next mission <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" />

 

[MeteorWayne]

And with Uplink withdrawel coming up, it's gonna be an ugly week!<br /><br />My computer will be in a coma by next Tuesday. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

[Zipi]

Yep, I'm bored due the mission ended... This means switching to Real Life TM instead of watching others. I really cannot wait until the next mission begins. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[SpaceKiwi]

I'll be climbing up onto my dish and cleaning the spiders out of the feed horn. Little beggers insist on setting up house in there every chance they get.<br /><br />Roll on the next launch, can't get enough of 24/7 mission coverage!<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>

 

[rybanis]

I'd also like to offer a slap on the back to everyone involved in the mission. It was fantastic!<br /><br />When Uplink goes dark tomorrow, I'll probably be working most of the time. I'll be very excited to see what the new board looks like, though. No mission and the boards are going to be down! Woe is me! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[bobblebob]

Whats this about uplink going offline? Have i missed some big annoucement somewhere? <br /><br />Edit: Just found the thread explaining it.

 

[honeyjones]

How long does it take the ET to reenter the atmosphere?

 

[SpaceKiwi]

Not long. The tank breaks up and falls into the ocean approximately an hour after launch.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>
