Lest we forget - Columbia. Memorial Day Article, touching

[franson_space]

This moved me a lot. I had no idea about the recovery effort and how people pulled together from all walks of life. Really touched me a lot this did. <br /><br />http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?id=2440<br /><br />Is Chris Bergin and Shuttle RTF the same person?

Yes, I am.

Excellent, that is so cool. I hope NASA treated the FBI guys with all the respect and love that they can show at the launch of Discovery. It'll mean so much to them to see that launch. I don't think I'd of coped on that search. I don't think anyone on here would have coped with it nevermind the physical, more the emotional.

Nice piece, SRTF. FYI, you've got a typo with the spelling of 'showered' part way down.<br /><br />Never heard that story concerning the news helicopters and the Astronaut's resting place. You've seriously got to wonder how some of those vultures sleep at night. Why the officers didn't draw their revolvers and give the helo a big 'don't argue' I'll never know. <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>

Cheers mate, and yeah - that was something I had to really double check due to the nature of the incident. That typos annoying as I changed the bloody thing only for it not to correct in the system, ugg. Anyhoo.

Thanks Ms Poo.<br /><br />We're uploading the Challenger/Columbia video that we've had produced for us by TBA Productions/Chris Valentine - ahead of some new projects along these lines that will come soon.

Ah, it's uploaded.<br /><br />http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=93&posts=1<br /><br />Lest We Forget - the video (it's 32mb, which is too big, so I've reduced it to 9mb to make it more loadable and it's still pretty much as viewable. We'll have the full quality videos up on a special page before long).

SRTF, looks like your website is taking a beating!<br />My download speed is 0.1kb/s <img src="/images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />, I'll have to try later I guess. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>Wanna see this site looking like the old SDC uplink?</p><p>Go here to see how: <strong>SDC Eye saver </strong>  </p> </div>

Give it 10 mins. The forum's quiet, but the news pages are getting a beating (someone must have just linked something up on some site) - was downloading at 200K early (on 2mb Broadband).

Could be google, searching, indexing and caching. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>Wanna see this site looking like the old SDC uplink?</p><p>Go here to see how: <strong>SDC Eye saver </strong>  </p> </div>

It's at 200K downloads right now and the webmaster says it won't be anything less than a 100k per second downloading as he's thrown some more bandwidth at it.<br /><br />Anything less (unless you're on slow broadband or - heaven's forbid - dial-up) and it's your end. Might be an idea posting on that site if you have any issues as I don't think the good people of SDC want this turning into a feedback forum for NSF <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

That's a stunning video. Made me cry <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" />
