Space Forum / Shuttle / January 2008Next Launch
Bloody yanks can't get anything right. When is scheduled launch date now? I think the point is that "the yanks" actually do want to get it right. > Bloody yanks can't get anything right.

Yes, Feb. 7 is still the target: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html André > Yes, Feb. 7 is still the target: > http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html > > André Thanks, I knew the link I was just worried by the statement. I'll be there (in Cocoa Beech) and I'm kind of obsessed about seeing my first launch. Thanks for the reply. jason forrest heeft uiteengezet op 19-1-2008 : >> Yes, Feb. 7 is still the target: >> http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > (in Cocoa Beech) and I'm kind of obsessed about seeing my first launch. > Thanks for the reply. I wish I was able to see a live launch.. :-( Here in Holland we even haven't got NASA TV via satelite :-( Oh, well... I have to work with NASA TV online then... André > I wish I was able to see a live launch.. :-( > Here in Holland we even haven't got NASA TV via satelite :-( > Oh, well... I have to work with NASA TV online then... Well I don't live in the USA either. You just have to work hard, save up your money, and worry yourself sick every day the damn thing doesn't get rescheduled. ;'). Cheers. After trying over 10 times I have never been able to see a shuttle launch, the closest I came was almost getting on a bus at KSC...... every launch scrubbed.:( > After trying over 10 times I have never been able to see a shuttle > launch, the closest I came was almost getting on a bus at KSC...... > > every launch scrubbed.:( I managed to get down to t -29 seconds or something like that before the scrub came the only time I was ever there.

My husband went to the Apollo 11 launch and it went off right on time. Years later we went to see a launch and it aborted at t-31 s, so we did what we'd planned anyway which was to go to the Bahamas for a week. We finally got to see STS 41-C launch right on schedule. Then we went home to Edwards and got to see it land. Not counting the crew, I think there were only five people who were at both the launch and the landing for that mission (us two from Dryden and three guys from AFFTC). Mary "Having a NASA badge made the trip to KSC a lot of fun" SignatureMary Shafer Retired aerospace research engineer We didn't just do weird stuff at Dryden, we wrote reports about it. reunite.gondwana@gmail.com or miliff@qnet.com Visit my blog at http://thedigitalknitter.blogspot.com/ I also say both the launch and landing off STS 41-C. I was in Florida on vacation and swung through Edwards on my way home to Berkeley. It was great seeing both ends of the same flight.

The decision to land at Edwards was so sudden that none of the photographers made it. I got two fairly good photos of the Orbiter, just before it turned onto final, that ended up becoming the official NASA photos.

Probably not but some luck and Karma and I'll be there for us all. If not, there's always next time, relatively speaking. > Bloody yanks can't get anything right. When is scheduled launch date now? So when's your country's next launch? :-) -- Todd H. http://toddh.net/ |
