| Will this be the last night-time launch? | 11 Mar 2008 17:04 GMT | 2 |
Quite a spectacular view and it was the first night-time launch I've ever
seen (couldn't believe how the pad area was lit up by the SRB's!). I'd like
to see another one and hope there will be at least another night-time
launch.

| Woot! Clean launch. Go Endeavor! | 11 Mar 2008 16:17 GMT | 4 |
Some problems with flash evaporators but other than that, all seems
well. Also glad to see those ECO sensors issues seem like a thing of
the past.
The new photo strobes during ET separation were nifty. Anyone know

...why do the SSME's have an ignition system? Why don't they just mix a
small amount of H2 and O2 in an ignition system?

| Green glow? | 11 Mar 2008 14:44 GMT | 3 |
Was the green glow ionisation caused by speed or was it OMS/thrusters?

| Flames near the pad ? | 11 Mar 2008 09:52 GMT | 2 |
In a distant shot of the PAD, one can just make out what aoppears to be
some plame emerging from some chimney behind the pad. Chimney roughly
1/3 the height of the pad.
Anyone know the purpose of this ?

| Heading to the cape to watch the launch.. any suggestions on places to watch? | 10 Mar 2008 13:50 GMT | 3 |
I live in Orlando, so I'll just drive home afterwards, but I wanted to
take the opportunity while I had it to watch a nighttime shuttle
launch...
Any suggestions on quiet places to catch a great view? The closer the

The windows media media channel link says it cannot reach the server, tell
the engineers to take their electric kettle out of the mains socket!

| 51-L R-OMS/RCS Explosion -- Progression and Cover-Up | 09 Mar 2008 16:58 GMT | 37 |
There was NO "R-aft SRB burnthrough" on Challenger, folks, just a big
hydrogen fire at the R-aft SRB attach, heated by R-aft RCS firings and
followed by a R-OMS/RCS explosion. Now you can see the progression of
the blast and its cover-up by NASA.

| What kind of shuttle could we of had? | 08 Mar 2008 18:23 GMT | 4 |
Imagine this.
STS 1 starts flying, but every 20 or 30 flights a new redesigned
vehicle is built, and one retired.
museums worldwide would have nice exhibits:)
