Endeavour landing
 
Anybody as **** as me about this kind of stuff? I got 4 monitors and the big tv screen watching this. Of course - the monitors are picking up images ya can't get on tv (internal NASA links I get at home). Landing at ~ 6 pm CST. Clouds are heavy. We'll find out after the fly-thru in a couple of minutes...

That would be cool. I don't think we are in it's flight path and it's still too light out.

AfterMyNap 03-26-2008 07:23 PM

Kayo! Get out there and wave right now! It might not be too late!!!

First and foremost Tomas how are you feeling how was the surgery forgive me if I missed info on said question because i have been down and out

yes i watched it on my laptop on my tv in my room and the big screen and through the binocs when it passed by grew up watch gemini and apollo and mercury missions, i watched the infrared landing it was cool watching it com in steep and and fast and then u could see it level off I think they said at 200 feet or 2000 feet up and see how it slowed down its pretty awesome to see how they bring that puppy in using areo dynamics, and whats more amazing is they used whats pretty much equivalent to a calculator to sent those boys to the moon and back as far as computer tech

question? in my half in half out of it this past week and i they stow things did i hear correct they stow something that could not be attached to space station

thank you tom for sharing with us, I am so glad you are able to enlighten us when we have question and let us know about the heads up stuff especially for freaks like me, I would give anything to I would dam near make a deal with you know who to go into space. I have had pleasure of semi weighless underwater and scuba but the pleasure of it and seeing the curvature from up there see it from mountain tops and on on the water but god wat a breattaking trip thats got to be

Again Sir::: Bowing Deeply With A Sweeping Gesture Of My Hat ::::Thank You
