are we all ready for a kick ass launch??

 

[bobw]

See what I mean? They did it again. Cut the camera to the outside shot before the carrier plate was installed. I'm convinced that three of them have to heave with their shoulders to close the hatch and they just don't want us to see it <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

><i>SG would have to be sitting directly below the camera for him to be missed I reckon.</i><p>I think I caught a glimpse of him on that last pan....but he was looking at the console so his head was down so I can't be sure.</p>

Not to brag, and it'll probably rip SRTF's shorts, but I've got NASA TV coming in on two birds here at the moment. I701 on C-Band 3 metre dish, and B1 on Ku 65 cm. (The Ku one is a local re-uplinking of the I701 feed though.)<br /><br />Still, nice to see local satellite operators have embraced the NASA concept of redundency! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <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>

 

[najab]

One better than you...4 different feeds, though they are all showing NASA-TV at the moment. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> Earlier I was watching (though not hearing) the weather briefing on the secondary channel.

 

[lunatio_gordin]

Hold's over. T-20. exciting indeed. Shuttle really looks nice.

 

[ehs40]

only a 10% chance of a weather f-up (but not a cloud in the sky)

[arobie]

Very excited for this launch. <br /><br />Just listened to to the procedures for SRB retrieval. Very cool!

 

[shuttle_rtf]

T-14 mins.<br /><br />Built in hold at T-9mins...

 

[lunatio_gordin]

I can hardly hear anything. feed keeps cutting. gah.

 

[dragon04]

I'm hearing a lot of "you have a go".<br /><br />Music to my ears <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <em>"2012.. Year of the Dragon!! Get on the Dragon Wagon!".</em> </div>

One stream on the computer, one stream on the PDA

 

[chriscdc]

Whats with that clock. I started watching and the clock started counting down from 20 min. Now they are holding at 9 min. What is going on?

 

[igorsboss]

Wish I had NASA TV up on my local station. I hate resorting to watching *gasp* Network TV for NASA events! They never shut up!

 

[lunatio_gordin]

yeah. tell me about it. I'm trying to watch MSNBC but they're talking about too much irrelevant stuff. not as bad as CNN though.

 

[star_sirius]

The launch will be 10:38:59 A.M. eastern time.<br /><br />http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts114/fdf/sts114countdown.html <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="0" color="#10bdee"><strong>A dazzling bluish luminosity from A distant south pacific.</strong></font><p><br /><img id="cb51e87e-8221-424c-8ff2-78c95122196c" src="http://sitelife.livescience.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/11/15/cb51e87e-8221-424c-8ff2-78c95122196c.Large.jpg" alt="blog post photo" /></p> </div>
