Sweet as a nut!<br />There was a little ice or something coming of the tank, looked pretty small. <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>

I wish that I knew how Physics work

Nice work Atlantis!<br /><br />Boy, that ET was really shaking early in the climb. I was really concerned a big hunk of foam was going to liberate right in front of the ET camera! <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>

Yeah, now I can stop shaking. <br /><br />Nice shots during launch from the ET camera! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

[MeteorWayne]

I only saw that after the tank seperated, but it's hard to see everything, with so much going on. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Now the launch wa successful, whats the plan regarding landing. Can they extend the mission by a day or 2?<br /><br />Need to plan my time off work around it

 

[earth_bound_misfit]

Well done NASA, SG and team! <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>

 

[holmec]

Nice launch. I saw no debris from the tank but eager to see how much did come off.<br /><br />Good job NASA, Atlantis<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>

 

[SpaceKiwi]

It's impossible to tell with NASA TV's scungy resolution, but I'm buggered if I could see anything coming off the vehicle during the climb. There seemed to be a little particulate associated with ET sep, but nothing that looked large or dangerous in any way. <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>

They are cleared for a +1 day mission. They have to undock by the 17th I think. <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>

Great news, flynn!
