No kidding. While I respect everyone's right to believe whatever they want, this isn't the right thread for that.<br /><br />'Do they think there is a hole in the elevon?'<br />'Nope, they have no reason to think that.'<br />Should suffice. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Well back to the mission then.<br />Atlantis will undock at 10h42 AM EDT, or 14h42 GMT.<br />The fly around will start at 11h07 AM EDT, or 15h07 GMT.<br />I'm so curious about the new look, because it will look much bigger with 2 pairs of solar arrays on both sides!

Yeah she really looks good. Finally starting to look like the poster that's been on my cube wall since '98!<br /><br />Looks amazing flying over the clouds below.

"Therefore, it is only one of three protection mechanisms in the line between the power being generated and the computers themselves. "<br /><br />...all of which were in place prior to the event! So I wouldn't really rely on them.

Cool view. If you watch the view of the orbiter from ISS, you can occasionally see the RCS fire. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Anyone know what time the de-orbit burn is scheduled for? Or is it a bit too early to tell?

I'm going to miss the STS. The new capsule thing on the drawing board just won't be the same. <br /><br />Me, wishes that the international space agencies (including a lot of countries that are not already contributing eg:Australia) had created a new Shuttle. I feel that what we all learnt off the STS program could've been taken a step further and made a totally awesome vehicle. <br /><br />Sorry, always feel a bit saddened to know it's all over in 2010. <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 was wondering the same thing about the white object. <br />I took about ten pictures of it as the object rotated behind the station. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><br /><strong><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Columbia and Challenger </font></strong></p><p><strong><font size="3" color="#3366ff">Starships of Heroes</font></strong></p> </div>

Just saw a live view on CNN showing the back of the space shuttle with ISS off in the distance --- it looked like the Shuttle is being chased by a Tie Fighter. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

"<br /><br />I was just going to say that to!!<br />If the moon was also in the background we would have the perfect set to play Episode IV <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" />
