Chewing gum commercial
 

We had a successful chewing gum commercial beamed from the international space station for Japanese television yesterday. Yeap. We do strange things. It is international...

The science data formatter went kablooey on the hubble telescope over the weekend so STS-125 is postponed until at least mid February. We need to certify a replacement. The shuttle to the telescope was supposed to launch 10/14. There is now a push to push up STS-126 going to the space station to the 14th of November from the 16th.

Thank you Tom, for your info, and was curious is 'kablooey' a techno word or one of them there high faluting Nasa words lol. thanks so much for your insights about nasa, it means a lot to me

Hey there fih. Nice to see a fellow Space person here. ;):D:hug:

What Gum Commercial?? 5??? :confused:

Thanks for the update, Tom!

I was sorry to hear that the repair for the Hubble got pushed back. I understand that they want to figure out what to do to fix the new glitch, but I am scared that they will just decide to abandon it completely and I LOVE Hubble! :(

Was it "bubble" gum? Seems to me it would have to be. <crackin' self up>


(Oh wait.... would that be "hubble" gum?---something to chew on )

Being in the ad world can I ask how much to advertise on your network?

Oh Pick ME!!! Pick ME!!!!!

$186,282 dollars per second!!! :D

Sheesh that is more than double a Superbowl unit. :mad:

What do you want for the speed of light? ;)

:D

I have no idea what gum commercial. The flight director reported they were gonna do it at Monday's daily meeting and then said it was a success at Tuesday's daily meeting. I'm a shuttle guy. I only half pay attention to station stuff unless there's a shuttle there. I'll ask this morning though.

Kablooey, diflugity, PFM... Yeap. NASA talk.

Hi Tom :). I'm a little off my game this morning :D. When I read your thread title I thought it would be a link to a youtube video for a gum commercial :o :rolleyes:. I shoulda known better, huh?

Well no wonder, this one's coming from the Astrodome. :rolleyes:

I hope that they end up fixing the Hubble too. We've gotten great stuff from it.

yes we have Gaz, I logged in last night to Nasa fora couple hours and looked at tons of pics, totally awesone stuff

An APOD thread would be nice but I don't think admin here would go for it. :o
