( helps if I put in the page link, huh??? )

( I just got lost for three hours in NASA site AGAIN!!!):eek:

Yep...got it on the computer!!! ;)

Hope they make it ok, and the toilet works when they get there.

LMOA!

I'm such a freak!

I have it on TV and I am in the NASA site and I got started on the images of the space station from beginning to now!

I was looking at the images and wishing they would load faster...then I realized I was looking at them in High Resolution mode- using up all memory, wondering why everything was taking so long!

I was thinking it was because of all the people watching, then I realized it was my sloooow dialup and my settings!!

( now QUIT sucking up the bandwidth, people!...:p )

I'm on it, but I have to leave soon! Did ya'll see that case of Foster's in t he corner??

They're packing for a real trip!;)

Can you believe that we have gone from this???

To this???

I tell ya, I am still fascinated by the whole darned thing. I am in AWE of what the combined space programs of the world have done, regardless of what the heck they are lobbing at each other down here on terra firma!

If you get the chance and the weather, check it out when the space station and the shuttle, hooked together, fly over your head. When they hook up the KIBO module, the brightness will increase yet again!

It's something everyone should see and realize humans did this!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!


( I hear Off We goooo...into the wild blue yonder...!) :eek:

wah ... 1/2 ton of fuel a minute!!

how do we find out when it'll be overhead??

I'm watching!!!

Just got home in time to catch the one minute to launch mark!!!


I love watching the shuttle launches, landing, and everything they do in between!!!

We have a photo of the space station at various stages of construction (each shuttle flight) hanging on the wall on the second floor of mission control. I still occasionally look at them.
