Space Forum / Shuttle / August 2007

I see on sci.space.news that this is the conclusion.
What worries me about this is that someone obviously said this was the case
and now nobody will  say it was. This makes one wonder if the folk involved
have closed ranks, or there was/is some mischief makers in the  jobs out

I don't know if anyone listens to this, but I'm subbed to it.
However something odd is going on. An item called of skunks and telescopes
keeps being flagged up as downloading, never gets any bytes, and  so I
delete it, and then it comes back again.

I love that sound; it means a lot of things went right.

To all of you Shannon busters and gloom and doomers. Bah!!!
A flawless landing. Endeavor completely intact.
Seriously - it's good to see her and her crew home safe and sound.
Gotta admit, I was breathing shallow for awhile there.

I mean, I heard them testing various parts of it with voltages and
waveforms, but never heard the end result.

It doesn't seem to be easy to contact the right people in NASA about
suggestions, so I'm posting here in the hope that it'll get some
consideration, and perhaps even an acknowledgement from Leroy Kane or
John Shannon!

I would like to obtain a copy of this software. Can anyone help me?
This is the simulation that the CDR and PLT use to practice approach
and landing on the IBM laptops while on orbit. Thanks in advance for
any help. Thanks very much.

On the display on Nasa TV, it looked like the shuttle was going
backwards at an angle, not directly backwards, when the de-orbit burn
occurred. Was the display wrong or does this somehow enhance the cross
range capability?

Looking good!

Okay, backup hoot-and-hollering activated.  Green board, proceed!

I would have expected some virtual cheering and sighs of relief already :)
Fantastic landing, just by the book, congratulations to all!

Normal tiles provide for smooth airflow over the aerodynamic surface.  It
would seem damaged tiles would disrupt the airflow, creating turbulence.
Could this turbulence dislodge completely several tiles, or even strip off
a whole area like peeling an orange?  If this is so, could ...
