~ As a long time follower I've collected numerous documentation on the STS. However I've yet to come across any other the ascent checklists, pocket checklists, post insertion checklists. Pointers on where I can find more of these sorts of documents from would be greatly

wrap Et in mesh?	12 Apr 2005 15:35 GMT	19
With all this info about foam still going to fall of, was there any consideration to putting a tight mesh "net" around the ET to contain any loose debris?
Test Fire Main Engines	11 Apr 2005 20:58 GMT	15
I thought I had remembered reading that part of the process of getting the shuttle ready would be to go through a test firing of the main engines. (You know where they light up the mains and let them run for something like 3 minutes if I remember correctly).
Foam cracks already?	11 Apr 2005 13:22 GMT	16

I saw in the news the Shuttle is being rolled out from its Assembly Building today. Yet the launch is almost a month and a half from now. Why is so much time allowed for it to remain on the launch pad? Is all that time really needed to check out systems that couldn't be done in ...
Google Maps and KSC - very cool	08 Apr 2005 15:45 GMT	11
Saw this link on NasaWatch.com. Now that I'm tired of looking at my childhood homes via satellite, stuff like this is the most fun. < http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=28.592090606689453,-
