| Nasa tv win media | 30 Apr 2007 11:02 GMT | 6 |
Have any of you noticed that the standard win media feed drops out

escape velocity question.
does the figure listed for escape velocity for a planet not vary with

surely with a slower speed you would be able to get into orbit? Also

| NASA shooting? | 24 Apr 2007 21:45 GMT | 12 |
Here is a quote from cnn.com.
"Space Center Director Michael Coats identified the gunman as Bill Phillips,
a contract employee, and the dead victim as David Beverly, a NASA employee.
The other shooting victim has not been identified.

In answer to someone spewing venal accusations, "No, David Beverly WAS
NOT a workplace bully!" He was one of the very best people I have
ever met or had the privilege to work with. He was an excellent
engineer, a kind and gentle person, and someone you feel blessed to

getting into orbit.

equator as the earth is spinning faster there. Why is this, as surely
the earth's rotation does not affect a rocket orbiting above the

| ET repairs | 13 Apr 2007 04:48 GMT | 16 |
Does anyone know the nature of the ET repairs NASA is thinking about? With
the risk of shedding, I don't see filling the holes with more foam is a good

spaceflight.nasa.gov says that ET-117 is being shipped to KSC, and while work is
